|
|
We are having problems with our app server machine, a Win98 running Borland
Socket Server. It does a DNS lookup via our router causing a ISDN dial up
each time it is accessed causing a long delay (1-2 minutes plus) We
currently have to disable DNS in TCP/IP Properties to prevent this
happening. Our socket server is on an IP address 192.168.1.3 and the
Interbase server is on the same machine using localhost:databasepath. We
would like to keep DNS enabled and prevent this dial up each time we access
the application server.

Go into Control Panel->Internet Options->Connections, and make sure
"Always dial" is not selected.

These are greyed out as our Internet connection is via our LAN. We use a
Zyxel Prestige ISDN hub router to dial out on our ISDN line.

In that case you'll probably have to do something at the router level,
because I don't think it's anything that Windows is doing.

Try using "127.0.0.1" instead of "localhost".
Good luck, Brian
