Re: TCP settings for WANS

>>>>showed dead gateway (#TOIDGWM) processing was involved.  After many
months
and phone calls to IBM support, we turned dead gateway processing off and
haven't had a problem since. (knock on wood)  It's not well documented
(thank you IBM), but the parm IPRSBTIMO on the CHGTCPA is shipped at 120
seconds.  TCP support had me change it to 86 and, voila, no more time outs.

Terry,
a couple of questions . . .
How did you  "turned dead gateway processing off" ?
I'm at V4R3 and the default for IPRSBTIMO is 10 secs (not 120). We are set
at 60 and some users do seem to experience disconnects more frequently than
others. How did you arrive at a figure of 86, which is a long way off both
10 and 120 ? When you went to V4R5 did your value for IPRSBTIMO get changed
automatically to 120 ?
