We're running MS/Kermit 3.15 on several NT remote boot (dos 6.22)
workstations as a VT100 Telnet client. Our telnet server (RFGen
<http://www.rfgen.com>) has timeout disabled, but we're dropping
sessions.
Our LAN runs everything through 3Com 3300 10/100 switches. I ended up
creating an entirely new segment for the remoteboot machines, using
some cheap 10BaseT hubs. This fixed the problem locally, they'll stay
up forever. (still don't know why the switches dropped the
connection).
Now I have a machine in another city connecting to my telnet server.
It remoteboots to a server in the other city, then telnets to my
server here (we're point-to-point) through the router, which is
plugged into a switch. This remote machine drops connection at least
once a day.
I know it's not a remoteboot or kermit problem (has to be a switch
problem, but I'm out of ideas. I've turned off auto-negotiation for
the ports on the switch and set them to 10BT half-duplex, set them up
as roving analysis ports (promiscuous mode) plugged hubs into the
switches. I don't have any more options.
Any ideas here would be greatly appreciated.
