I've recently succumbed to a problem with TCPIP V2.05.

Previously everything has been working fine, but just recently I've
been getting problems with resolve timouts happening too fast.

It'll just go

resolve timeout
resolve timeout

etc etc - I'll get about 10 of these per second! Of course after a
few failures the lookup fails.

I've tried changing the config file - with resolve timeout set to "none",
everything works fine, if a little slowly. If I set it to 5,10,20 etc
I get the effect above.

The strange thing is that sometimes things will be OK for a while, and
then suddenly everything goes pear-shaped again (perhaps something to
do with cacheing? After the failures I have to do a resolve purge of
course!).

The only thing I can think of is that I have a (broken) FPA fitted at
the moment - but I'm not loading the FPA-aware FPEmulator.

Any thoughts?



Stuart.
