| The pause is being caused by the time out
of the file redirector. When you disconnect the network card,
Citect will detect the failure and will swap to the second card. As
your project is installed on the network file server, each time you
display a page Citect will get various files from the file server.
So when you change pages Citect will call to Windows to open a
file. This request will go to the redirector to be sent to your
file server. The redirector was communicating to the file server
over the network card you have just disconnected so this request
will time out and fail. The redirector will now try to re-establish
the connection to the file server, so it will first try again on
the first LAN card and then on the second card. Once the redirector
has established the connection via the second card, Citect will be
able to read the files and the page will change. Citect has no
choice but to wait for the redirector to time out and retry.
The time out and retries for the redirector have been tuned to
cope with a wide variety of networks. So they tend to be far
greater than is required for a high performance network. If your
reduce these time out then the delays in Citect will be reduced.
Your other solution is to copy your project files to the local hard
disk.
CIT has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft
redirector. For a solution see Q1949.
