Hello Paul,
Yes version upgrade is due and we are looking into it. It will take some few months as we are grouping this activity along with upgrades of FW/DM etc.
In the meantime, can you suggest what should be the value for timeout? Currently, I have set timeout as 5-seconds and retry as 3-seconds. These servers are on 2mbps leased line and normal ping response is <50ms.
Is this abnormal(false) event is solely because of older version and has this been addressed in newer version. Where can I get documentary proof so that I can push for faster version upgrade?
Regards,
Anupam

What is happening is that the ping is timing out before it returns. You
might try increasing the timeout, this may however, not alleviate the
problem.
My biggest suggestion would be to upgrade NetView. You are currently
5 revisions behind the newest code and 4 versions behind stable code.
You are running version 6 which is no longer supported, a call to
support at this point is not going to help much. I think the problems
that you may be seeing are fixed in the newer versions of NetView.
