Hi all,

 I have a problem which seems to crop up occasionally, depending on

the setup, but quite often. I have a PC running MEDM screens connected

to a remote IOC by a crossover ethernet cable. The MEDM apps all run

fine. Occasionally, I need to check or change a PV, for which I use the

caget and caput command-line utilities. The operation (put or get) is

executed immediately, but then the PC waits for several seconds before

the cursor is returned. Does anyone know what is causing this? It feels

like a network timeout, but all I have is a PC and an IOC with a

crossover cable between. Anyone know the fix?

Pete.
