Ok, the nitty gritty. Are you the network person there? I have seen this when a Cisco, which uses keepalive by default, tries to send an ipcp config request to the router on the other end, that is usually not a Cisco. The classic symptom of this is you start a download, then after a couple minutes, things start to slow down, then die for about 3-4 minutes. All is well after that. If that is what is occurring, you could try looking at the router interface while someone else downloads. Does it blink as if resetting? The fix to try is this on a Cisco.. First, do a show running or show config, and look at the config for the serial interface that connects to the csu. Does it say no keepalive? If not, try the below. This is not recommended for frame relay circuits, they depend on keepalive for staying up. conf t int interface name no keepalive ctrl z Then test to see fi things improve. If so, then write mem on the Cisco Brian On Thu, 12 Aug 1999, Eduardo Viruena Silva wrote: > On Thu, 12 Aug 1999, Brian wrote: > > > Potential problem; the circuit could be so bust with transferring your > > data that something called keepalive is failing. 1 of the routers will > > reset the connection at that point. > > > > Bri > > Thank you Brian.
