Thank you Patrick,

Your answer confirm that I 'm  not alone to get this problem and all my =
configuration is correct.=20

I don't know if that can help you, but I made some other tests, and I =
saw that the link seems to be disconnected when the application on =
Alphaserver is working a lot. Changing the speed on ethernet cards from =
10 mbps to 100 mbps seems to break the link more quickly. I also tried =
to change the dst_gc_interval and time_limit parameters with no success. =
(I don't exactly know the use of these parameters and if other decnet =
parameters can affect the communication ). I made also some change in =
the NSP parameters of the Alphaserver but also without success (delay =
factor, weight...). =20
It seems that a "time-out" occurs on the PC side, waiting for an answer =
from the Alphaserver.

Let me know if you want more information or tests.
