I have tried with 'Don't resolve client names', and I use the IP address of the server instead of the hostname. We have an http proxy configured in most programs (internet explorer, http_proxy environment variable, ...), just in case that has something to do with the problem The server doesn't have antivirus or firewall software installed. The lock server is running. I also tried creating another repository but it does the same thing. The response is different from the client and from the server itself. From a client I get this (delay after "main loop", then everything works): 09:46:57: -> Tracelevel set to 3.
