Hi
I am a net admin at a school district that uses novell with Bm 38sp5. My
problem is we use a student administration program called Power School
that is hosted offsite. Our Database admin has been trying to download files
that are not that big, 8mg, 15mg, 50-60mg and more often than not it times
out. I have been at my wits end because on occasion this has been
intermittant. Just today I noticed the transport setting in nwadmin under bm
setup. Estab Connec timeout
etc. I increased all considerably. It worked. My question is will this cause
any other problems? and does anyone know what is a good rule of thumb to
use?

usually not make a difference. It's just allowing slow-responding sites
longer time to talk to BM before the proxy gives up waiting for responses.
As 30 seconds is already pretty long with a modern average (T1 or faster)
internet connection, increasing the timeout value shouldn't been necessary.
If it is helping your server, I'd say you need to tune it or find some
problem it is having. Check tips 1, 23 and 63 at the URL below, and go
over the server looking for issues (like duplex mismatch).
