We have NT and 98 clients running on a token ring network. Both clients use IBM Client Access Express to connect to an AS/400. Have SMS 2.0, Proxy 2.0 (Winsock), InocluateIT, Office 2000, IE 5.5, Adobe Acrobat Reader 4.05, and Power Archiver installed on each client. We use TCP/IP and NetBEUI protocols. We also have DHCP and WINS running. We are having problems with our 98 clients responding super slow. It takes forever to do anything on the client. But it doesnt always happen everyday. The client can be fine a day or two and then have problems for a day. Back and forth like this for the past three weeks. Our NT clients are fine no problems. It's just the 98 clients having this problem! Any ideas???
THANKS A BUNCH!!!!

On the day of the slow down try using the performance monitor and see what services or programs are running inthe back ground at the time of slow performance,are their any settings in the innoculan configuration that it may be running in the background.
If you think this is a network problem then check at time when network is slow to see what users are doing and what programs thaey are using.

It would simplify a great deal if you clarify the following .
1) Is the Authentication slow ?
2) Does it become slow while mapping drives
3) Is the response slow when retreiving a file from AS400 .
4) Is the response slow when you are off the network .
5)What is your Authentication Server NT or AS400 .
Awaiting your reply !

Check your innoculate IT settings to see if they are set for checking all files. Compare the settings of the WIN98 clients against the WINNT clients for Antivirus settings.

Check the order that the Protocols are used in the network settings. Set IP as the first protocol for use.
