We've had this problem for a few days on and off. Users can't log on to our HP3000 947(5.5 Express 2) with NSVT. Telnet(through a DTC) works fine. Stopping and restarting Allbase ARPA listener allowed NSVT sessions to logon. This morning even that wouldn't work. Checked with sockinfo and SERVER.APACHE had 48 sockets(and PINS) active(or open or control of or whatever term is appropriate). Stopping and restarting Apache server allowed NSVT session to logon again. I think Apache was the problem before as well and the stopping/starting of Allbase listener cleared enough resources to allow NSVT to work again. Anyone seen this behaviour before or have any hints as to where to go from here? I'm assuming a system shutdown and restart is probably in order.
