So I am out of luck for now, but I haven't said my last word. Like I said before. I would start by examining various counters on the machines to get more understanding of what the problem is, and then try to solve it from there. I know that different network interface speeds mess things up, for example, and I have code in my bridge to help get around the problem if the bridge is sitting between the systems. I suspect a timing problem. Yes. Me too. That is why I would check various counters, to identify in more detail where the timing issues are. How do you explain that: NFT TI:=REMOTE::FILE works 9 times over 10, but NFT FOO=REMOTE::FILE hangs every time? The later is faster. I do not exclude a vector mis-configuration, although the system should be unusable. I assume they all "work". However, the speed to complete the commands might differ a lot.
