Re: IFS response time-additional information

["Jim Franz" <franz400@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

there are some ptfs for netserver response in v5r1
MF26400 V5R1M0   OSP AS/400 NETSERVER HAS SLOW DOWN OR FAILS TO RESPOND
MF26394 V5R1M0   OSP AS/400 NETSERVER HAS SLOW DOWN OR FAILS TO RESPOND
MF26397 V5R1M0   OSP AS/400 NETSERVER HAS SLOW DOWN OR FAILS TO RESPOND
MF26404 V5R1M0   OSP AS/400 NETSERVER HAS SLOW DOWN OR FAILS TO RESPOND
MF26399 V5R1M0   OSP AS/400 NETSERVER HAS SLOW DOWN OR FAILS TO RESPOND
also, large#files in a directory can cost you.

Additional information:
(1)        I'm running through a WAN, not a LAN.
(2)        My Internet circuit into the iBox is a partial T1 (128K).
(3)        QSYSWRK was in *BASE (Chris B., thanks for your sharing your
expertise so often); I've moved it into one of my shared pools previously
set up for QCMN, etc.
(4)        TCP/IP send/receive buffer sizes are 8192.
(5)        I'm accessing HTML files in a directory off the root level of the
IFS (not QDLS) using NetServer/file shares/mapped network drives.
(6)        Response sucks regardless, Notepad or HTML editor.
(7)        VPN doesn't seem to affect response.
(8)        Our workload on the WAN and iBox is low.

Previously:
I'm experiencing extremely long response times when accessing the IFS
through shared folders.  I'm experimenting with a couple of HTML editors
(CoffeeCup, HomeSite) and I'm looking at >60 seconds to download a 2K HTML
file.  My IFS isn't huge nor is it busy.

>From a V5R1 820, I have a firewall, VPN, Internet/WAN connection, cable
modem, and 1.1 gHz desktop.  There is very little running on the 820; we
have enough memory (> 200 mb.) in *BASE and other stuff split out into a
couple of other subsystems, etc. with 128 mb. or 256 mb.

Serving HTML works fine; response is good.  I use CODE/400 (mostly) and SEU
extensively; CODE/400 up/downloads aren't fast but they're better than IFS
work.

Is there some terrible TCP/IP default I've forgotten to change in
OS/400-land, or am I expecting too much?

Thanks,
rf
