[RESOLVED] Slow Network Access w/ Dell Latitude laptop

DELL Latitude w/docking station running WIN95 configured with Novell Client 32 and MS Client for Microsoft Networks; Madge Smart 16/4 PCI Ringnode TR Adapter;

Login script running 4-5 minutes. Desktop with "same" configuration runs about two minutes.

First off what is this loggin script taking so long for 2 minutes is unthinkable. Anyway What are the specs on the laptop compared to the Desktop? Are you loggin in with same user? What version of novell is it loggin into ? X

No really That paper thingy you took out of the box with all the words on it was not packing material its called a "MANUAL"

I have to agree with you on the 2 minute login script - Connecting to a server across the WAN - Also verifying AntiVirus versions.... Anyway, the laptop is right out of the box PIII 500MHz 128 MB Ram, the desktop is a Pentium w/ 32 MB Ram. Side by side logging in as the same user the desktop completes the login in half the time. The Novell server is 4.11

are you using the same client on both ? Also when logging put a check in to view script to see if you can tell where its going nuts. X

Try turning unselecting "run scripts" from the Intranetware client. See if that helps. Check the switch and make sure you are connecting at 16mbs. confirm that all your settings are correct for the token ring adapter. If the laptops have the docking station, try installing a standard pci madge tr card.
