Weird problem with Nav4 clients

We've got 2 clients that are having this identical problem:
They come in, in the morning, fire up the Navision client, and it takes a long time to connect to the database/server. 2-3 minutes in some cases. Doesn't matter if the computer is just starting up or has been on and the screen saver turns off (one assumption was the workstation computers were just not done booting up fully when they were trying to start the client, but this eliminates that possibility). It's always in the morning, never any other time, the first time they open the client. Cannot be reproduced later in the day (ie if someone comes in late). One of clients having this problem is a 4.0 native db server, the other is on 4.0 with MS-SQL db server. Neither company is too big so I don't believe it would be the server being flooded with requests to connect - one is about 8 users (native on Windows Server 2003)and one is around 20 users (MS-SQL on Windows Server 2000). Both clients have server hardware more than adequate to handle those #'s of connections. Neither server is running any type of backup or other mainanence tasks at this time.
Also, this problem is intermittent, but happens more than it doesn't happen.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

the initial reponse time, but then some other requests over the day can take longer than before.
As it is in my case only a test server, I don't mind, but I've noticed this only happened when the virus scanner has done his work. Disabling the scanner or leaving a client connected did also disable the problem.
