» close window

The Question is:

 
My Question is:
 
I'm experiencing the same problem as another enquirer as below
however my settings are as you already recommend.
 
I can ftp to an older VAX with no problem.
 
The problem exists between two alpha servers of the same specification.
 
550-Network READ failure.
550 connect to network object timed-out or failed

Previous Question by another enquirer was:
 
Hello,
 
Every time we make an ftp  between two VAX of large files (> 100 Mb) we have
 this error message which appears
 
550-Network READ failure.
550 connect to network object timed-out golden failed
 
We have no problem for the small files and the transfer takes place well. We
 have no network problem and we can make a transfer of large files between 2
 machines NT.
Please, could you please check may cause the problem.
 
Cordially.

The Answer is :
 
  This could be a known interaction between TCP/IP V5.1 ECO 4 and a
  unitary MTU setting that is occasionally found after upgrades from
  older IP releases.
 
  Intervening firewalls can also potentially be involved.
 
  If tcp_mssdflt is set to 1, consider resetting it to the typical 536.
 
  After having invoked the following:
 
    @sys$startup:tcpip$define_commands.com
 
  Use the following to display the current tcp_mssdflt value:
 
    sysconfig -q inet tcp_mssdflt
 
  And -- if set otherwise -- use the following to reset the value:
 
    sysconfig -r inet tcp_mssdflt=536

The Answer is :

 
  The referenced topic is (8215).
 
  You do not have the version referenced in (8215), as you have an
  older ECO kit loaded.
 
  Please ensure you have the current TCP/IP Services version and the
  current ECO loaded -- you are presently running an older TCP/IP
  Services version -- and please then contact the support center for
  assistance should the problem persist.
 
  As of this writing, TCP/IP Services V5.3 -- with ECO -- is current.
