I am currently running Ultrix V4.4 on my DECstation 5000/125. I use
DECterm windows to connect to various systems on my network. During my
sessions, I will eventually get a "Host unreachable" message which
terminates my DECterm window. This has become very annoying and has made
using my workstation almost impossible. I have a DEC Unix Alpha
Workstation on order, but I need to pass this workstation to someone else
to use when I am done with it.
A few things I know :
1) there are multiple systems I am going to : Ultrix and DEC Unix based
servers
2) I can run "ping -l" to the machine in question, loose my DECterm
connection, and get no packet loss to that server with less than
2ms ping times
3) my internal network is below 20% usage most of the time
Someone suggested that I should change my MTU on my Ethernet interface,
but I cannot figure out how, like I can on my DEC UNIX boxes.
Is there a way to monitor the Ethernet port for hardware faults? I have
done a tcpdump, but I don't see anything abnormal.
Thanks for any help you have,
Neil :-)
