I am currently working at a clients site trying to fix up a botched W2K Server and Terminal Services installation.
One of the problems that has surfaced is an extreme delay in client PC’s connecting as Terminal Server Clients. The delay is to the point of regular time outs.
I have isolated the problem to the enabling of DNS on the Windows 95 client PC’s. That is if I remove DNS the connection is immediate but with DNS we get the delay.
The most frustrating part is that we are connecting to the W2K Server via its IP address on the same LAN and not via its name so DNS shouldn’t come into play.
I have upgraded clients with winsock2 but the problem still exists.
I am going to need DNS to stay on the client PC’s as the customerwants to implement ICS.
Thanks in Advance for any assistance.
