[comp.protocols.nfs] NFS TCP question

graeme@cheetah.inmos.co.uk (Graeme Tozer) (05/14/91)

I have been working on a TCP sockets program using PC-NFS Programmer's
Toolkit on a PC. The program (ported from a SUN) works fine, but every now 
and then there is a pause of a few seconds. On examination this appears to 
be when a packet is not ACKd in time. The retransmit timeout seems to be 
set at 4 seconds and does not vary. Is this correct?  Is this a problem 
with PC-NFS? Am I doing something wrong? Is it possible to change the 
retransmit timeout? 


Thanks in advance for any help, Graeme.
