I have a very simple question about logins.
I inherited a Navision 2.5 setup from previous MIS staff. I have noticed when users try to login the first time, the system seems to drag a bit (slow). After the user's initial login, there appears to be no performance degradation.
Does anyone know why this might happen?
I have also noticied users having a difficult time in general when trying to login before a specific time period (in this case M-F 8:00 am).
Also, are there any settings that might prohibit logins outside a certain time period?
Thank you, I'll sit down and wait for my answer.

Solution? A smaller cache, or create a macro that starts up a NF client at eg. 07:30 am.
Symptom: First time the user logs in, it takes about 30 seconds before the login screen appears. Application speed after this login is ok. Leave/restart Navision starts the program immediately.
Solution: The TCP/IP address of the servername FINSERVER was not propperly defined in the DNS and therefore the server searched the internet first prior to searching it's own domains.

when a TCP client starts it will look in the hosts file ( if it exists ) for a DNS entry for the server, if it doesn't exist the client will then send various requests out on the wire for an IP address of the client, depending on how the client is configured means how long it must wait until it gets a reply.
The IP address is then stored locally in the workstation cache where it will remain if not updated for about 10 mins, after which the address will be reomved and the whole process will start again...
