Tom,

The AS400 is acting as a Logon server so if you have a user profile and for 
WinNT are using PLC you have access to the PC. As an AS400 administrator you 
are the lan administrator.

I finally had to get supportline involved due to TCP bogging down in the 
afternoons and eventually dieting. Even an ENDTCP and STRTCP couldn't bring 
Netsvr back up. It turned out that a PC was sending bad requests to the AS400 
on port 139 in high volume. After getting a couple of "Test" PTFs everything 
stays up and even though the warning message shows up the AS400
stays the master browser. Losing as master browser was just a symptom of TCP 
bogging down. It seems to be similar to NT server's event log that shows every 
time an election is held and that it wins it. It is just annoying that we are 
used to treating messages in QSYSOPR as things that need action and this one 
doesn't really.
