Maybe this group can add some insight to what is happening with this
NetWare server
It seems that when a PC makes the connection to the server and
request a file. The file is sent to the workstation, but the packet
scans show the data segment is padded with 0's. The packets are full
size 1460 bytes and sent multiple packet before the ACK. It appears
that we run through this cycle of requesting the file and getting 0
data. If we stop the PC or disable the switch port, the problem
seems to move to another PC. Have not been able to define any
patterns on PC or network segments
Can anyone perhaps after reviewing the scan section see anything
that we could use to isolate the problem or at least be able to
identify the issues to the vendor.
There's nothing out of the ordinary except that it's padded with zero's.
The idea that they may be (accidental) sparse files seems to be the
best possible explanation. The path and the name of the file is in the
trace, so I would first check with NDIR to see if they are indeed
sparse files.
Wow, what a blast from the past. I haven't thought about JRB Utils in
YEARS. What a great collection of utilities that was....
