Re: TCP/IP shutdown or crash

[michaelr_41@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

You might want to bounce TCP/IP if you change the system name or
something, but that's about it.

I've worked with TCP/IP since V1R3 and have never seen it crash. I've
seen servers (TELNET, FTP, etc.) fail, but not the stack itself. I would
get more information about this 'crash' if I were you - bet it's some
process that's not working.
