When I select computers in the Network Browser, it sometimes takes a long time for LogWatcher to connect or report an error. Why is this?

This can be one of several situations. If the computer you are trying to connect to is not a Win NT machine, it will not allow you to connect, and LogWatcher will eventually report an error. Sometimes, the network list gets stale, and if the computer you are selecting is not actually turned on, LogWatcher will time out trying to connect. Windows NT security can be configured to an extraordinary degree. Check the account that LogWatcher is running under, and check the domain user privileges. If the network is up and running, LogWatcher should not have any problem connecting in less than a few seconds at most.
