I have a problem that I cannot seem to figure out. We recently installed a Dec 3100 system and 3 Dec 3100 stations. We are running Ultrix and DEC WINDOWS. The problem is that whenever a person tries to log into the client stations the DecWindows accepts the login and the password and then seems to time out and return the login prompt. After several tries (random number but usaly more than 5-6 tries) it eventualy will allow a person to log into the system. From that point on all appears to work well. I have tried calling Dec Support about this and they seem to think it has to do with "ethernet errors". I am quite familiar with unix but I have dealt little with setting up networks. I am not sure what to check. I was told to make sure that the thinwire net we are using is not too long. However with only one station in the chain and a cable well under the specified lengths I still have the problem. Any suggestions on what to check would be extreemly appreciated.
