Getting Error in Telnet Write

[Pankajusic]

Hi all,

I am getting an error 66 while writing the data over telnet connection. this error is very random and I am not able to find the root cause for the same.

If any one can suggest?

Where is the device that you are connecting to? What kind of device is it?

Error 66 is a type of timeout error. Specifically, it means the device you communicating with has timed out and closed the connect tion from its end.

Hi  Mike,

The device is a type of functional dispaly unit used in locomotives. the device is connected to host machine(Windows PC) using ethernet (RJ45).

I have given 5000ms as a timeout for writing the data and I am checking for the error there , in case of error occurs i am still trying to write the same data for next three iterations after that I am closing the connections.

some times this connection works fine for me but the error was so random I am not able to debug it probperly.

Thanks

Pankaj

How far apart are the things on the network? How much other traffic is there? Make you timeouts longer, like several seconds.

The distance between host and client machine is nearly 30ft. the traffice will be high over he LAN as it's not a local lan.

I tried to giving timeout upto 20sec and still was getting an error 56.

Then put in retries. If you get a 56, retry the interaction.
