TCPClient connect slow only on XP Pro ASP on some boxes

G

Guest

I have an ASP.NET app that has very slow connect times using TCPClient, or
the Socket class, or even calling a COM object that uses C socket calls on
certain similar XP SP2 boxes.

On those boxes, if another connection is made within a couple seconds, it is
fast. Running the same C# code in a console app connects instantly.
Unplugging the network cable allows localhost connections to be instant (?!).


Running the same ASP.NET app on W2K or another XP Pro SP2 box is instant, so
it comes down to being ASP.NET on XP Pro on certain boxes. I've includes the
test results and programs. The boxes with the problems are laptops. Is it
an ASP.NET config issue? XP SP2 Security issue? Any ideas/help is greatly
appreciated.

most likely you proxy server setting don't exclude localhost.

Tx for the reply. I can't find any IIS proxy settings, can you give some
details? I'm not using a proxy in the IE settings. I did try turning the
proxy on, and excluded localhost, and it still is slow.

New information. The slow computers have a gigbit network and wireless. If
the network cable is attached, *and* wireless is connected, the connect time
goes from 6 seconds (with just the network) to 27 seconds!

Jim,

We're experiencing (in a somewhat different context) the exactsame problem. We're as clueless as you seem to be. I can'treally relate to the suggestion that your proxy settings mighthave something to do with it, but who knows. Have you made anyprogress towards resolution since you posted your question?

No, I haven't found a solution. On the production machines, which are not
multihomed, it is not an issue, but it's on my todo list.

I will post if I find a solution. Please post if you find one.
