One of our clients running OI ver. 4.03 over a network using server 2003 recently applied service pack 2 to the server. This resulted in severe performance problems on their OI application - 5 to 10 minutes application load time. This happens only on those work stations using 10/100 netwrork cards. Performance is normal for those work stations using 1 gb cards. All their work stations are XPs. OI is the only application experiencing this problem. Any ideas as to what is happening?
Ensure the cards are set to full duplex / 100mbps (not "Auto") and see if that helps.
In some cases a mixture of different speed cards across a network causes all sorts of problems - especially if the workstations are 10/100 and the server card runs at a faster speed. Same goes for 10mbps workstations talking to a 100mbps server.
