Veritas 6.5.1 Master Server AIX5.3 Scalar I2000 mix environment windows,unix,linux clients, etc. Have about 2000 clients. On some of our clients we are seeing status 40(network connection broken) mostly occuring on aix clients (DB2 and Informix backups) and Windows SQL backups. Not occuring on very many(about 10 total) mostly the same ones it happening to. Havet been able to find much info on this error code but one thing I was wondering. Our master server nic card is set to auto/auto. I've been reading this should be set to fixed. Has anyone had any issues regarding that. Could that cause status 40? Thanks,
