As a followup to my earlier post:
Server: The server is a NT4 SP6a server, using the same server
name, IP address, OS and service patch as before. It's a P-III 700
single processor with 512 Meg RAM. Vantage is the only
application running on this server (well, there is the UPS software
and the tape backup client). There is no virus software running on
the server.
Per Epicor's 'Performance Tuning Document', the server is getting a
buffer pool hit rate of about 96% (it better be, with all that memory
and no other applications running).
Workstation: The workstation (in question) is running Win95C on a
P-II 350 MHz machine with 64 Meg RAM. There is no virus
software running on this workstation.
Network: We are running a mixed NOS network, with a Novell 4.11
server handling all of our file/print serving needs, and a NT4 server
running Vantage. I'm using Novell's NDS4NT to assist in the user
management for both the Novell tree and the NT domain. All
workstations run both Novell's Client32 and Microsoft's client for
Windows. We have a HP ProCurve Switch 4000M tieing it all
together.
For what it's worth, *My* workstation is a 350 MHz / 64 Meg RAM
machine, also running Win95C (and I'm the MIS person!), and I
*am* running a virus software, but my machine does not have this
problem.
Last night, I replaced the network card, updated the NIC drivers,
hard set the card to full duplex, un-installed and re-installed
Vantage's client. Same thing .... a several minute lag when going
into something like Job Tracker.
*** OH **** Just found out .... Our Data collection machines are
doing this too !!!! Can't exactly tell people to *wait* 4-5 minutes
when they want to log into a job, now can I ?!?!?!

Having Novell connected to the network can slow things down.
You may want to temporarily uninstall the novel client on that machine and
see if it helps. I saw some articles in passing on microsoft's knowledge
base about novel/NT performance issues. You may want to explore that
avenue.
Of course the fact that other computers with the novell client run fine
suggests a slim possibility that this is the problem.
Might be worth checking, though.
Does anyone else have a similarly configured Novell/NT network that
works/doesn't work well?

just bought us some nice generators.
