I reckon you should try the AS400 message list, u might someone more techo.
Anyway we have a setup similar to yours and occasionally I want to connect to the AS400 but
not to the Novell Server  so I pull out the cable when logging on to prevent Novell constantly trying to
reconnect, then plug it in after PC startup to hook into the AS400, dont know the tech details but
there does not seem to be much problem with physically disconnecting from a Novell LAN.

SORRY GUYS, I lost my SQL job. but all sessions are active with the WRKACTJOB.  THE QUESTION STILL HOLD? I ran an Interactive SQL session & a WRKACTJOB session, disconnect the RJ45 from my PC Ethernet card for about 10 seconds then reconnects it back without any network or AS/400 problem.  The SQL JOB WAS LOST but session remains and my WRKACTJOB session remained active and still running.  Is the RJ45 connection at my PC different from the RJ45 connection at the back of the AS/400 leading to all CLIENTS? How & Why?  Remember, I have an ETHERNET card in the AS/400 and all CLIENTS are connecting over IP. Oludare

 I'm assuming that the clients all have ethernet cards.  If so, the NIC is listening to the network for messges addressed to it.  I would imagine you will cause all sorts of problems if you disconnect your RJ45 connection. Think of it as disconnecting your telephone line from your home modem while connected to the internet.  You might keep the line up for a second, but it's not a good idea. From an electrical engineer's point of view, you're going to cause all sorts of reflections on the line. Bottom line, I wouldn't do it.  I can't begin to imagine WHY you'd want to do it! William

 Hi Guys, I need to know.  Is it possible to disconnect the RJ45 that connects all CLIENTS (PCs) to the AS/400 box, communicating over IP, and reconnect back without any CLIENT knowing that communication was interrupted.  What happen to all active interactive jobs (programs) from the PCs and Session Manager? Thanks for you help. Oludare
