AREV Specific

Hi,

We have one workstation that is intermittently losing it's AREV connection. AREV just stops responding. We check the Novell console for file opens and there are no AREV files open. This only seems to happen when AREV is in the background.

We have not been able to isolate the problem and would appreaciate any suggestions / ideas as to where to start looking.

It is not a rights issue as the user concerned has supervisor rights to Novell.

As this is an intermittent problem it is making it very difficult to isolate and repair.

One step at a time….

Make sure the icon/pif settings does not suspend the ARev session when in the background.

Try disabling screen savers and powermanagement. Check the NIC settings as some cards have power saving settings also.

Try swapping the network cable and NIC.
