What does netstat show you? Perhaps you've run out of connections? Maybe the OS is configured to keep connections open for too long of a time. Is this intermittent? What's the history? And, what OS are you using? Anne -- *************************************************** Anne Wilson UCAR Unidata Program address@hidden P.O.
