All .net applications take up to 40 sec to start up. Our surrounding is a large corporate network and non-.net-apps's behave quite nice. We're running XP against a Win2K active directory environment.
It seems that .net apps perform some spoofing on the network and I'd be corious to know what this might be. I tried to turn off security, log-on as local user et.al. - without any success. Plugging of the network cable is the only solution - when I do this the apps are starting up smoothely within millseconds. The minimal app is a console application doing nothing... Using netmon I found a "bad opcode" reply from our domain controller during a LsaRpcPolicy command. That looks like a problem within our network, but I need to convince our sys-admins... Any pointers? My regards Axel You can read messages from the DOTNET archive, unsubscribe from DOTNET, or subscribe to other DevelopMentor lists at http://discuss.develop.com.
