Greetings folks! I'm wondering if someone can point me ( a new unix administrator) in the right direction for fixing this problem... I have a Sparc1gpx running 4.0.3 with a 327 and 104 mb disk. The system is connected to the network via thin wire and is the second to last drop on this segment. We recently added a "client" xterminal (NCD) for a summer student.. Heres my problem.. The owner of the sparc1 has a huge code that they need to ftp every once in a while.. the Compressed tar file is 7,187,670 bytes in size.. Every time I try and bring this file onto the machine I get the following error netin: connection reset by peer 550 tar.z.Z broken pipe I have gotten anywhere from 42000 to 97000 bytes of the file on the system before I get this error. I can transfer the file to other systems, so I dont believe that it is the file. We have plenty of disk space.. And he claims that he "used to be able to do this". Since I'm new here I can't confirm that last point. Question: Where and how should I start to look... Could it be hardware...??? Could it be software...??? Could it be netware...??? Related or unrelated info: I have been able to FTP ~969000 byte files to and from this machine in both binary and ascii mode. The xterminal all of a sudden is getting "connection closed" from the sparc1 during telnet sessions. The Xterm is using the sparc for the window management software. When we try and reconnect the xterm we get no name services responding or connection refused or host unavailable. BUT we go next door and the programmer is happily working away on the Sparc1 Any and all information gladly accepted...
