RE: 5250 Problem

Hi Angus,

If Paul's suggestion below does not help, I came across something very
obscure one day that causes 5250 timeouts. Is there a Cisco VPN client on
the PC at all? If you launch the client, under the Options menu you'll find
Stateful Firewall (Always On). If this is ticked it will cause 5250
timeouts even if the VPN client is not running.

Drove me insane for about two months once until I worked this out! Hope it
helps.

Thanks

subject: 5250 Problem

I have a user who's iSeries Access green screen repeatedly times out every
15 minutes or so. He's in an office with a bunch of other users none of
whom
experience the same problem. He was on V5R1 client which I have now
upgraded
to V5R3 to no avail and I've also modified the config file for timing out &
still no joy. What's curious is that this only happens on our LAN, from
home
over a VPN he doesn't experience the same problem.

I've checked the respective system values and it's not that.

Any input would be much appreciated

Is he using the same PC at home?

Open up his .ws file and make sure he has a KeepAlive=Y statement in the
TN5250 section
