Alan,
                Enclosed is a copy from our 'crash and burn' 969, it shows
the user.account and a node name, this is what made me think of the maximum
node names in NETCONTROL.

                HP969:nscontrol status=users

                JOBNUM  SESSION  TYPE         USER.ACCOUNT
                          ID      SERVICES      NODENAME

                #S5     #165017 REMOTE        TC,MANAGER.SYS

                        #020040   ORIGIN        TCOUSINS.OPTEKINC.COM


                TOTAL NUMBER OF LOCAL NS USERS:        0

                TOTAL NUMBER OF REMOTE NS USERS:       1

                TOTAL NUMBER OF NS USERS:              1

                HP969:

                        Tony -

                        I can't find exactly what you are refering to, but
this is the summary
                        section from an NSCONTROL STATUS:

                        661     SERVER      MIN    MAX  ACTIVE RESERVED
DEBUG  PIN JOBNUM STATUS
                        662
                        663     HPIPNS        0  32767       0        0  OFF
                        664     RASERVER      0    300       0        0  OFF
                        665     IASQLSVR      0  32767       0        0  OFF
                        666     NSSTATUS      0    300       0        0  OFF
                        667     LOOPBACK      0    300       0        0  OFF
                        668     VTSERVER      0    500     338        0  OFF

                        As you can see, we are well below the VTSERVER
maximum.  Can you cut and
                         paste the default of 360 that you are referring to?

                        ---------------

                        In another response Tony says:

                        > Another thought is that the number of VT
connections has
                        > been set to a number close to 360. Look in NMMGR
at path >
                        NETXPORT.GPROT.TCP and check the # of connections.

                        We looked at that and increased it (TCP connections)
from 512 to 640.  I
                        reset it with a NETCONTROL UPDATE=ALL;NET=LOOP and
NETCONTROL
                        UPDATE=ALL;NET=LAN1

                        And since that setting in NMMGR is before you get to
the network
                        interfaces, I'm not sure if that is the right way to
reset that setting.

                        We don't want to shut down NS services with all of
the users on right
                        now.

                        We can leave it at the 640 and have the operators
tonight take the LAN
                        down and back up.  Or is there some other
*noninvasive* way of resetting
                        this with users on?

                        Other or more ideas?
