Terry,

Did you seem my post earlier yesterday about a similar problem?

A couple of things...

1) LINKCONTROL @,A    (What does the HP3000 think of the network)
2) NETTOOL.NET-->RESOURCE-->DISPLAY (Are there enough resources?)
3) Are you getting any messages at the console

There was a network patch the system would hang, when the logfile changes
NMLG####, can you cooerelate the timestamp?

Please let us know, I have a very similar issue.

-Craig
