I have recently got new PC with Windows XP.
On my previous PC I had Windows 2000.
I have SUBST drive P: and local IB database file (.GDB) on this drive.
Under Windows 2000 TIBDatabase connects to this file without any problems.
But under Windows XP TIBDatabase cannot
connect to this file with the following error message:

********************************
Unable to complete network request to host "P".
Failed to locate host machine.
The specified name was not found in the hosts file of Domain Name Services.

********************************

If I put local IB database file on normal drive C:
TIBDatabase successfully connects to it under Windows XP
(but much slower than under Windows 2000).

What's wrong ?

Microsoft changed something about the way that subst drives work in XP
an later versions of Windows. AFAIK there is no way around this.

My new computer is has two core processor.
Connecting to .GDB file takes much longer time
than on previous one core processor computer.
If I switch Core Multiplexing Technology in BIOS off
then connecting to .GDB file occurs quickly
as on previous computer.

I use Delphi 5 and Interbase 5.6.

Is there any workaround ?

Get imagecfg.exe from \support\debug\i386 on your OS CD

Then run from CMD:

imagecfg -a 0x1 C:\Program Files\Borland\interbase\Bin\ibserver.exe


To permanently make IBServer run on one 'CPU'

Hi,

maybe net use can help ?
It is also possible to create new "drive names" with net use on the same
computer.
