You guys were such a great help on my other problem I thought I would press my luck and see if you could help me with the other alligator at this site.
Arev Config-
Arev 2.12 running on Netware 5.0 with LH NLM 5.0
Loaded with /XM4096
*
Citrix Platform-
-Dell PowerEdge 2650; Intel Xeon 3.066 GHZ; 4 processors; 2gig RAM
-NIC is Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet
-Windows 2000 Server SP4
-Citrix Metaframe XP vs 1 build 1467 SP3
-Netware client vs 4.83 SP2
*
LAN workstation users do not have problems
*
On Citrix, for all users, the Arev sessions intermittently hang/freeze with no error messages:
Can occur immediately just after logging in
Can occur after session is up for a few hours
When inputting data
When outputting data to scree/printer
Other than this problem Arev runs well with good performance on the Citrix hostFor example, to create the failure I do the following:
-LIST CUST ENTRY_DATE LAST_ENTRY_DATE (N
-Where cust is a table with 400,000 records.
-Sometimes it dies after a few pages of data, other times it completes and dies as I am inputting at TCL
-While the session no longer accepts input and requires an end-task, Task Manager shows the NTVDM to be using approx 25% CPU. Normally it uses 13/15% when at TCL.
I have spent much time experimenting with the shortcut parameters, using CMD.CMD vs COMMAND.COM, tweaking the AUTOEXEC.NT/CONFIG.NT, to no avail.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Chris

Chris,
There are a couple of utilities (free) which you can try for Citrix.
Contact me at steve@state-of-the-art.com.au and I'll send them via return mail.

Are you running Tame? Although your CPU usage is only 25%, it may actually be at 100% since you have 4 processors on your Citrix Box.
