I
assume you're using TCP/IP - in which case the client is probably trying to
resolve the machine name to an IP address - hence the
dial-up.
LMHosts, Wins, DNS ?
AFAIK
Windows will try the above then DialUp then broadcast to the LAN using NetBIOS -
I'm at the edge of my networking knowledge here (correct me someone if I'm
wrong) but I'd make sure you can Ping the Server Name etc as a place to start -
if you can't then you need one of the above forms of name resolution (Wins is by
far the easiest on NT).

Subject: [DUG]: D4/IB5.5 and I.E.4I've tried posting this on the interbase list now I'll try it here....
I've installed our D4 app onto a Windows NT network (NT4 server with Win95 clients). I've installed IB5.5 Server onto the NT server (v4 sp3) and IB5.5 client onto all of the client PCs.
Some of them insist on trying to dial the internet before connecting to the IB server. If I modify IE4's settings to use LAN connection (force them to manually dial up) it goes away.
Is there another way around this?
