Hi Harry,

Offhand, without much information, the RPC time out sounds somewhat like
a resource limitation.  What does netstat show you?  Perhaps you've run
out of connections?  Maybe the OS is configured to keep connections open
for too long of a time.

Is this intermittent?  What's the history? And, what OS are you using? 

Anne
