My present employer runs a few VFP applications over a Novell WAN.. When they started upgrading to the newest Novell client (3.30) the applications they run started to hang at the start of the application running.

We have found a partial solution, but it does not really make sense.. The Novell 3.30 client installs TCP/IP as the default protocol. The 3.1 client was using IPX as the standard protocol, when we switch the protocol back to IPX for the affected workstations, the problem disappears..

Should VFP really care what protocol it uses to communicate with the network?

And bigger question, why does this only happen with the runtime? Running applications off network through development version of VFP do NOT hang at all?

All workstations are running Windows 95, run-time files and application files are on the network.. (Long story....)..

Anyone have any ideas??

Please advise....

Thanks!
