WDSC hangs up when saving members

Hello holiday workers..

I am working on some application changes that are supposed to be finished by Tuesday and WDSC hangs up on save. I am on WDSC 7.0.0.4 running over a CISCO VPN to the client site. Client site is on V5R3. This has worked previously and I think works periodically now (something frees it up and it will save). But mostly WDSC just goes into "Not Responding" mode.

The bad news is that it successfully clears the remote source member, then hangs up before it can save the changed code. I do not see any error messages anyplace (QSYSOPR and in the QZRCSRVS server job). After awhile I will get a message that the TCP/IP connection was dropped, so I click the reconnect button. Then I get a message that the member is locked by another job (QRWTSRVR). I take the option to end the job and save the member and it hangs up again.

I finally saved the member to a Word Pad document on my desk top. After several more tries over 2 plus hours, I did manage to save a copy of the source on the remote system (I am not sure how), although in a new source member.

Supposedly, nothing has changed on the remote server and the only thing that has changed on my end is that I have a new cable modem. I don't think the cable modem is the problem because I can retrieve the source from the remote system and WDSC can Clear the source member. I can send and receive email over the cable modem too. I have checked my local Zone Alarm and Black Ice defender to see if they might be blocking something and as far as I can tell, they are not blocking.

Any ideas about what might be causing the problem?

Thanks.

I am giving up for tonight, but will check it again in the AM.
