Hi guys, Wonder if you could give me some assistance. Our company is installing a new database product which is hosted in the US and the desktops back in my office will basically be running a telnet client, it's called SBClient by Informix. SBClient initiates via a traditional text based screen and then after a few seconds it will return a GUI interface. I have a few site protocol rules, one which I call Regular Internet Access and this has Telnet, HTTP access. I also have another protocol rule called IT & Special Staff, which has the same plus a couple of extra protocols that is only applied to a specific set of users. My desktops are configured as web proxy clients on the whole, apart from the specific set of users who are in the IT & Special Staff protocol rule list which have firewall clients installed. If one of the web proxy clients uses this software, they can connect no problem but the GUI is very very slow If one of the firewall clients uses this software, the system operates normally I have proved this also by disabling a firewall client and trying the software again, and it becomes very slow. Has anyone got any clue whats happening or anything that I can change to get web proxy clients working correctly Paul Crisp Snr Network Support Analyst
