Re: 98 Workstation backup problem

Commtimeout is actual 60 by default.  A number pretty much every
customer out there should increase.  Both 600 and 1500 seconds have
worked well for me in the past.

COMMTIMEOUT defaults to 600, try increasing it to 1500. You can also
play with the transfer block size TXNBYTELIMIT.

Subject: 98 Workstation backup problem


        I am having a problem with one of my workstation clients. The
backup seems to be running fine until it hits the users
    pst file which is over 1 gb. When it gets to this file it starts to
back it up but then after a while just hangs.  The client side
    only shows the following message in the dsmerror.log " failure in
communications open call rc: -50"   My activity log  just
    shows client terminated, did not respond in xxxx seconds. If I
exclude her pst file the backup runs fine. Although her NIC
    is set at auto, the transfer rate shows very good. Anybody have any
suggestions?

    Server is 4.2.3.0 on AIX 4.3.3
    Client is  4.1.3 on Windows 98 workstation
