RE: Socket program problem

["John Allen" <jallen@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The problem I have is these are remote locations (another state) and they do
not have people on hand that know anything about the network.
I am hoping to fix this without making a trip.

Sounds like you have a router, firewall or switch that is being overloaded
by the amount of data being written by the AS400.  This is causing your PC
to loose the connections and the data to be dropped.  By waiting for the ACK
for each record, you will slow down the sending and fix the overload,
(buffer overrun).  Yes this will patch your problem and is a good work
around.  I still think you should be looking at the differences between the
equipment between the PC and the AS400 for those 2 sites.  Some where you
have a bottle neck in your network.

Well,  I have tried everything I can think of and what you guys suggested
and still losing the connection before all data is received by the PC
client.

I am going to explain what is happening in a bit more detail in the hopes I
am doing something wrong.
