Don't know if the Tomcat/Windows 2000 problem is the same as the Netscape/NT/Java problem. You can find out by lower the priority on the browser I guess. Anyway, the Netscape/NT problem is not a problem in practice for servlet developers because it only happens if your server and clients are running on the same platform. Typically this is only the case for a test or demonstration configuration where changing the task priority manually probably is feasible. By the way, I wouldn't go so far as to say it is a problem with the client. After all M$ is the server :-) - Paul Copeland, JOT Object Technologies http://www.jotobjects.com ----- Original Message ----- Date: Mon, 9 Oct 2000 22:28:28 +0200 From: Matthias Carlsson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: SV: [Fwd: Forward to paul] This particular problem has been bothering me for quite some time now. I'm running Windows 2000 / Tomcat 3.0 and whenever I tried to use Netscape to access my servlets it would take forever for the server to respond. I always thought there was a problem with the server or my code, but you're suggesting that it's a client side problem. Does this mean that there's nothing about this you can do, as the programmer? Is this a Windoes 2000-only "bug"?
