From: GKN%OAK.SAINET.MFENET@LLL-MFE.ARPA Frequently this message means that the connection timed out before the server process on the remote node had a chance to be created and get going. The period of time that NETACP waits for a connect confirm message can be changed with NCP. The parameters you want to change are: OUTGOING TIMER - Period of time (in seconds) to wait on outgoing connects INCOMING TIMER - Period of time (in seconds) to wait on incomming connects Some of the VAXen on our network are terribly overloaded and connects into them were taking upwards of 2 minutes sometimes. So I have changed the two timers on our system to 60 seconds. The NCP commands to change these timers are: [volitile database] NCP> SET EXECUTOR OUTGOING TIMER nnn NCP> SET EXECUTOR INCOMING TIMER nnn [permanent database] NCP> DEFINE EXECUTOR OUTGOING TIMER nnn NCP> DEFINE EXECUTOR INCOMING TIMER nnn gkn ------------------------------------------ Arpa: GKN%OAK.SAInet@LLL-MFE USPS: Gerard K.
