Hi,  
we are experiencing rather annoying delays in client/gateway communication in the following situations:

- project saving: the following message appear sometimes for 10 to 20 seconds

- tag editor opening:

- tag tree expansion:

- property binding editor opening:

Moreover:

- we get sometimes the “Connecting” message for a long time when we update the project on an already open client after saving from designer and finally we get the following error message:

- from time to time consistent delays when opening windows where PNG drawings are displayed (weight is no more then 100kB each, max 4 PNGs on a window)
- from time to time consistent delays in first objects update.

These problems do not occur on a regular base: Ignition is running good often enough, so it is difficult to debug.  
Our development network topology: Ignition gateway on a DELL server, two development stations running Ignition designer at the same time (not on the same objects!), connection through a common switch.

Any suggestions? Ignition parameters to pay attention to? Maybe debug with wireshark needed?

Thanks in advance  
regards
