 Paradox for DOS 4.5 Very Slow on Network - Help ! Post ID #13956, 3 replies 2/11/2010 5:51:48 PM

I am running Paradox for Dos 4.5 on Windows XP. I have set it to run on a Network and it does work however it takes about 4 seconds to access the y: drive which is my Network drive from the 2nd machine. This is just to display a list of tables in the y: directory. I am using a wireless connection to access same. It It then takes a further 5 seconds to actually display any table even one with only 100 records.  

I ued to use this on a Novel networ many years ago with perfect speed and believe this must be the way  windows operates this network. Can anyone help please .......

Hi Diarmuid,

Despite what I told you on the phone, you may need to disable oplocks. Try that and let me know.

Also, try downloading Steve's installation guide and scan it for tips and suggestion to try. Be sure to post back her what the problem was or if you couldn't solve it:

Diarmuid,

Few points:

  - Did the app run "properly" for some time (and then get slow), or was it always slow?

  - If you "moved" the app from a Novell server to a Windows server, did you change the Paradox NET settings from "Novell"?

  - Can you check access on a "wired" connection, and see if that's running properly - in which case your wireless speed may be the bottleneck.

 Another possible problem with wireless 4/29/2010 12:51:16 PM

We had a similar problem with our wireless.  We were getting interference with our wireless phones.  If you have a wireless phone in the area the Hz may causing a slow down as well.
