RE: FTP BIN on V5R2 -- MIDRANGE-L

We also have same problem on this. We changed line description Duplex to
*HALF. Then work normal. I thought some hub don't play good role with
AS/400 network card. Hope this can help you.

Best regards,

Vengoal

Shannon,

While technicians are getting more open, most often you won't hear how
it 
got resolved.  Just it works now.  :-)

That's an interesting take on this Scott! One I don't know the answers
to, but I'll see if I can find out more details.

I did hear this morning that now they are ordering a new Ethernet card. 
Ha!
Not sure what they think they'll gain by that move as all other traffic
works fine over that card....but I guess it makes them feel like they
are doing something.

For what it's worth...FTP works fine on all of our other V5R2 systems,
including an LPAR box in the office. It's only at one client that we are
having this problem.

If I can get some more details, or I hear that it was resolved, I'll
post the information here.

Thanks everyone,

Shannon O'Donnell
