Hi,

I have a VB.NET web service that intermittently takes 60-80 seconds to respond when the normal reponse time is sub 1 sec.

Attempting to identify the source of the delay I synchronised the clocks on the server and client and added a simple web method to return DateTime.Now.ToString().

When testing the web service on the production server from VFP the SoapInit() is accomplished instantly (well < 1sec) but the returned value shows that 60-80 seconds then elapse before the method executes. The result is then back <1sec.

The same .NET assembly running on my development web server (LAN) never has this delay. I'm thinking that the difference may be in the IIS configurations but have no idea where it might be.

Any suggestions as to what to look at/for ?
Regards,
Viv
