Environment

Novell BorderManager 3.9 Support Pack 1
Novell BorderManager 3.9
Domestic Version of TCI/IP Stack

Situation

With BorderManager VPN configured and enabled, the server is slow to load when booting up. The following is seen on the console screen:
Timesync: Waiting for TCP/IP to be initialized
Timesync: Waiting for TCP/IP to be initialized
Timesync: Waiting for TCP/IP to be initialized
Timesync: Waiting for TCP/IP to be initialized
Timesync: Waiting for TCP/IP to be initialized

The server eventually loads, but may take a long time to do so.

This only happens if the Domestic Version of the TCP/IP stack is loaded on the server because this version is required for BorderManager VPN.

Resolution

Edit AUTOEXEC.NCF to include the following toward the end of the file:

unload timesync
timesync
