This IP address is a specific PC.
I've Googled the message and got info from IBM (first hit !) about using
CHGTCPA to change the Keep Alive setting and it's at 120 so I changed it to
360 and still get it.
I'm beginning to wonder if there is a NIC card going bad in this PC ? It
doesn't drop the 5250 emulation sessions or anything thing.
Any idea/comments ?
Thanks !
Chuck
