- Hi folks,
- Last week I posted an explanation about a problem with the
- Wollongong WINTCP for DOS TCP/IT connection to IRIS workstation.
-
- I received two mail answers and one posting to this newgroup.
- Shantanu Kothavale from the Wollongong Group answered that there
- is something in the WINTCP which makes it do this. It had something to
- do with the large window sizes.
- Tom Mitchell from Silicon Graphics responded also and he said that
- the large window size of 60k in the new release of IRIX is the cause and
- that we should alter it as the parameter fortunately is external (the
- value in earlier release is 24k). The same has happened with several
- other products than WINTCP too.
-
- We did it and now it seems to work again. Thank you very much!
-
- This just makes us wonder. Why has the window size been changed? What
- do we lose changing it back to its original value, 24k?
