ActiveX control delays on some networks when internet is down
We are having this strange problem with an ActiveX control of ours, in fact all of our web application's activeX controls have the same problem.
On some networks, when the internet connection is down, the control takes about 20-30 seconds to open.
The controls all reference a MySQL database directly using a connection string with an ip address.
i.e = "server=192.168.0.1;database=mydb" etc.
What is causing this? On some networks this doesn't happen?
Thanks
Re: ActiveX control delays on some networks when internet is down
The problem is most likely cost by the network (since it doesn't happen on all networks), and it sounds like the DSN server is not configured properly.
Do you have a Windows 2000 DSN server running? And if so is their a dot map (.) in you'r forward zones? Try removing it (if it isn't a critical server, at your own risk of course), and see if that helps.
