Dear Listers, I am trying to FTP file from MPE to MPE from another location halfway around the world. I consistently get the error: SOCKET TIMEOUT Trying to find what parameter to change in the myriad of NMMGR screens. I have looked to see if the number of HOPS is set correctly and I have increased the value of Retransmission Timeout in: @NETXPORT.NI.niname.PROTOCOL.ARP to the maximum. Does anyone have any experience with this, and/or other values to check. Thanks in advance.
