RE: CPF5140

This sounds a lot like a network issue, either with a hub or switch.
Get the network gurus to check for collisions or some flakey network
equipment.

| We are on V4R5
| The following is the cum info.
| A few later PTFs have been applied.
| AUGUST 19, 2002
| The latest cumulative package for Version 4 Release 5.0 is: C2169450

|
| We are connected via TCP-IP on a Novell LAN.
| Some PCs are on CA 3.2  some on CA Express 4.3.
|
| The communications with the PCs are dropping out.
| Dropout are random and even when the user is actively using the
device.
| The AS400 gets a CPF5140 and thinks the user powered off the PC
| which is definitely not the case.
|
| We have changed
| sysval   QDEVRCYACN   from  *ENDJOB  to  *MSG.
|  CHGTELNA     TIMMRKTIMO   to   600
| This did not achieve much.
|
| We have replaced the Ethernet card.
| We have not changed anything lately, system settings or software
| at least that we know of.
| The system has been stable for the last 6 months.
| Suddenly the last week we are having these drop outs.
|
| Could this be the result of some sort of virus or other hack attack.
|
| I found the following in the archives.
| We are suddenly having exactly the same problem.
|
|
| Thanks for any help.
