Most of the time everything works fine, but occasionally the connection to my server gets killed. This happens usually after (or while) running programs that were compiled with djgpp. Reaccessing the server is impossible, and I have to reboot. The basic setup of my machine is DOS=HIGH,UMB DEVICE=HIGHMEM.SYS DEVICE=EMM386.EXE NOEMS RAM HIGHSCAN /some hw areas excluded/ Most of the NW requester is loaded to Extended Memory. I have the feeling the the problem occurs when I use programs that use a whole bunch of memory, but I cannot say for sure. Starting pgp works fine 5-8 times, then the server connection is gone. As I cannot think of an error that gcc, pgp, mkisofs, less and others have in common, I belive the culprit is either the requester or cwsdpmi. I'll check that with a DOS-Box under windows. Charles (and the rest), can I somehow figure out what cwsdpmi thinks which parts of the memory is in use by the requester and which ones are free? I guess that cwsdpmi overwrites parts of the requesters memory, because the launched programs usually finish in the expected way (unless they require reading from a network drive). Any ideas appreciated. -- Ciao Tom ************************************************************* * Thomas Demmer * * Lehrstuhl fuer Stroemungsmechanik * * Ruhr-Uni-Bochum * * Universitaetsstr. 150 * * D-44780 Bochum * * Tel: +49 234 700 6434 * * Fax: +49 234 709 4162 * * Voice/Fax Box: +49 2561 91371 2056 * * http://www.lstm.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/~demmer * *************************************************************
