SYMPTOM:

1.The Load DLSw command was removed from the configuration, when you viewed the
DLSw configuration and exited without making any changes.

 2. Duplicate ring numbers in the Routing Information Field record could
 have caused a DLSw loop.

 3. If the translation bridge NLM, BRGXLT.NLM, was manually loaded with invalid
command line parameters, connectivity was lost and the server could abend.

 4. When using NetWare for SAA and Client Access/400, with DLSw as a custom
data link, data transfer from an AS/400 to a PC, hung.

 5. NETDB.NLM was missing from the SNA Extensions installation procedure.

SOLUTION: 

Apply SNA31A.EXE.
