Hi Harry, Here's another possibility raised by Mike, and Tom says this problem occurred at Unidata once before. That is, the system and the switch did not agree on the the duplex mode. I've since sent Mike the info I sent you earlier today. Maybe we'll hear more from him later.

Anyway, I wonder if there's some issue with the network connection. Take a look at "netstat -i" and look for errors or "netstat -k" and look the section for the primary interface (ie hme0). Maybe the system and the switch it's plugged into don't agree on half/full duplex? Let me think about this some more... mike > From address@hidden Fri Feb 8 16:07:36 2002 > Subject: [Fwd: 20020207: missing products] > > Hi Mike, > > I'm wondering if you have any more thoughts about Harry's RPC timeout > that is happening on his local network.
