Thank you for the suggestion. The KeepAlive=Y works terrific!  Since I 
put it in it has not crashed again.

I am having a little difficulty getting the hosts file to work. I added 
a line with the printer's IP address
I am trying to put an entry in the hosts file. I first tried what I 
believe is the external IP address for my system.
It is the one listed on the router status page in my router setup.
I also tried adding a line with the printer's IP address and I tried one 
with the router's address at 192.168.0.1

With any of these on, my message has changed but it is still crashing with

CWBCO1004

Cause
iSeries Access for Windows could not determine the IP address for the 
server.

I get the idea of what the hosts file does, but am struggling with the 
details. Can anyone help me with this one

Thank you in advance.
