Might work. Thanks. Still annoying that I figured it out once and now am
stumped so far.

This may sound like a silly workaround but what about getting the dns name
and resolving it to 127.0.0.1 in DNS or a hosts file? This way it just
errors out the lookup quickly and continues.

>From where I sit, the most obvious thing is that there is a Verisign
certificate in use by the app (is TLS/SSL used? Or maybe code signing?) The
PC is attempting to connect to Verisign's CRL, to see whether the cert has
been revoked or not. When that eventually times out, the application loads.

Cheers

Subject: PC going to Verisign

We are an Epicor shop. I have a number of people residing on a VLAN that has
no internet connectivity. They also logon locally (no domain account). On a
PC with no internet, from clicking on the icon to getting the Epicor login
screen would take 90+ seconds. On a PC with an internet, this takes maybe 10
seconds.  I loaded a program called "ShowTraffic" to see what kind of
traffic was happening on the PC.  I noticed there were attempts to go to
Verisign.  This would happen several times before the logon screen would
finally come up. 

I managed to figure out that if I unchecked the Check for Publishers
Certificate Revocation under IE Advanced Settings, Epicor would load just as
fast as a workstation with internet connectivity. I came up with a reghack
and made sure these PC's were now unchecked. 

I'm guessing most of you cringed above when I said that people were logging
on locally. The security is of course unacceptable, and I'm finally able to
do something about it.  A child domain has been created which will give
these people domain accounts, and as such allow me to lock down and monitor
their PC's. Unfortunately, even with the above box unchecked, I'm back to
90+ seconds and "ShowTraffic" shows these PC's going back out to Verisign.  

Any idea how I can figure out why these pc's are behaving differently on
this child domain?
