Hello,

Hope this is not OT, but I'm not sure where to post it.

I have a development box running Windows NT Server 4 SP6a with all the
latest hot fixes and patches. Up until a couple of days ago, it was
running IE5.0 without problems. I upgraded to IE6 SP1 and ever since,
whenever I access the default ASP web site, it takes ages for the first
page to appear. After that subsequent pages load fine.

Couldn't find anything on Google or the ASP FAQ. Anyone any suggestions?
TIA

Hello,

Have you tried to access the site using something else but IE6? As far as i
know, IE does not change the behavior of IIS, so i don't think that the
problem is related to IIS. It could be that you are using wrong settings in
IE (have you enabled Bypass proxy for local addresses?)

Anyway, i would try a newsgroup for IE.

Yeah, works fine ;-)

I realised that after posting. My initial thought was that updated
components of IE might have affected IIS. Seems it's IE alone.

Not knowingly ;-)

The LAN settings are all blank, so I think that means the proxy setting
is not on. Was that what you meant ?

Better idea ? Thanx for the help.

Yes, it sounds like you are not using a proxy. If you had been using a
proxy, it is very common that it takes long time if "Bypass Proxy for local
addresses" is not enabled.

I don't think i have any more ideas right now. I will let you know if i get
another idea.

I vaguely recall an issue with the scripting dlls that shipped with IE6
originally. Something about them not having been built with server-side
performance in mind (since IE is a client application). I would expect that
this has been addressed. The original poster might try updating the
scripting engine on his NT server with the latest version.

If it's any help, I applied the latest service pack only yesterday. I
would have thought that this would have included the scripting DLLs, no
?

Thanx for the info.

not necessarily. To eliminate the possibility, download and install the
latest scripting engine from www.microsoft.com/scripting

You can see what you have by running a page with the following

<%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT"%>
<%
response.write ScriptEngine() & "<br>" & _
" Version " & ScriptEngineMajorVersion() & "." & _
ScriptEngineMinorVersion() & "." & _
ScriptEngineBuildVersion() & "."

%>

Current version is 5.6

I had version 5.0.3715, but then I'm running IIS4. I just downloaded
version 5.6, but it didn't make any difference.

Thanx anyway, any other ideas ?

Probably blindingly obvious, but I ought to point out that I actually
installed it as well !!
