Hello Friends,

I'm passing along a problem that a reader is having with networking and an interface to a webserver from a 3000.

<report>

It’s a 969 running MPE/iX 6.0.  It’s been our workhorse since 2001.  We connected it to a webserver in 2004  Basically, clients access our webpage which then opens a telnet session with the HP, grabs the info and then returns it to the webpage.
 
We’ve been getting more and more errors over the last year.  Culminating in non-stop  “Could not initialize data in path with TCP” which then block anyone accessing us through our webserver.  We’ve tried many changes but can not seem to get past this.

When it locks up, the HP 3000 keeps running but won’t accept any new sessions.  Which means our clients can’t run searches.  Which is very bad for us.  Sometimes we can stopnet and startnet and it will work for a while, but then the errors start again.  Eventually, we have to coolstart to be able to have clients log in.

</report>

Anybody have an idea on how to get this 3000 to keep talking to the web server without coolstarts? What else would you need to know?

Best Always,
Ron Seybold
