Seth,

     Have you tried setting the commtimeout in the servers option file
     (dsmserv.opt), setting this to a high value (like say 500 or more)
     will soak up any communications and or machine delays.

     regards Walter Ridderhof

Seth,

You can try to troubleshoot the connection by trying a large FTP.
