I believe it is the client that stops listening, because I can restart
the client and have it listen for a short time. If the server stopped
sending, restarting the client should have no effect.

I was not aware of the problem with W2K SP4. It is likely that the lane
is running this release. I would like to try the TCPIP.SYS fix on this
site. On another site, we are using TCPIP.SYS version 5.0.2195.6706. So
what version should I be using? Any idea where I can get that from?

Thanks!
Anthony
