SYMPTOMS

When a client application connected to a remote host over an ISDN bridge closes the connection, one or more of the following may occur:

  • If keep-alives are enabled, the ISDN connection is not permitted to timeout.
  • NETSTAT shows CloseSocket() as established. You must restart the computer to recover from this condition.
  • Without keep-alives, eventually all of the user ports become permanently exhausted. This renders the computer inoperative on the network.
