Title: 30-80% Failure on Pings
Tim:
Just because you only get a percent of your pings back does mean you will have problems..... just you have too much time to wait.  The ping command defaults to wait for 1 sec for the reply, it does not mean the ping packet is LOST only did not arrive in 1sec.  When you ping you can increase the wait time (just F4 the command).  The other guys have made other great suggestions, so I will not reiterate.  A better test may be to ping another server and the AS400 from the workstation and compare the results.

We have an overworked as/400.  And we have a new one on order, but I was wondering if anyone has an idea for a Band-Aid?

Problem.  If I ping a workstation during peak usage I will only get 2 of 5 successful hits...

Is there a way to grant more timeslices/priority to the IP services job, to prevent this problem?  And if so, what job would I change?

Thanks, tim
