Windows 95 "hangs" (Networking Products)

The Win3.11 workstations works just fine, but the problem is the Win95
machines that hangs after leaving the machine inactive for a while.
When the users return the machine is blocked, if you´re lucky you could close the application (ctrl-alt-del).
The client takes all recourses.
The batch-file that runs the application on the win95:
LHIPXTSR.EXE /P
AREV ,
LHIPXTSR.EXE /U
After adding the /P it started to work a little bit better, it "only" hangs 3 times a day instead of 6 (or something like that).
Ideas?

Do you have an Energy Saving monitor? If so you may want to disable it see if that works.
Do you start AREV from a shortcut? If so take a look at the MISC tab under the properties. There will be a BACKGROUND section that has an ALWAYS SUSPEND check box there that should NOT be checked.
Try that for now, if they don't work we can try adding some parameters to the LHIPXTSR.
Good luck…

The "properties" on the shortcut is checked, and it´s looks just fine.
I´m intrested in the other settings regarding LHIPXTSR.EXE.
Could somebody send them to me?

Here is a list of the LHIPXTSR optional parameters. (This can also be found on page 15 of the Revelation NLM Installation Guide.)
/c:# (60 secs is default) Interval in seconds the TSR will sleep between keep-alive packets.
/r:# (16 is default) Max number of retries to communicate with the LHIPSXER.NLM
/s:# (8 is default) Max number of linear hash file servers to connect to.
/u Unloads the LHIPXTSR
/x Resets the resident LHIPXTSR without rebooting the workstation.
/p Establishes a private session for the LHIPXTSR. This is necessary when more than one DOS session is running AREV.
/? Lists the parameters available to be used with the LHIPXTSR.
Hope this helps. Good luck…

I'm having *exactly* the same problem, with another client on Novell 3.12 Win95 OSR2.1 *but* not all machines on the network have the problem.
*I'll* be very interested in your findings as well. If I find the solution I will pass on to you.

Further to my above comments
Client is running Microsoft's Client for Netware.
They will try Client 32

A further update on the hanging problem
The client had two batch files to start AREV - one works ie no hanging, the other doesn't
The only difference I can see is the "current" directory of the batch file when the LHIPXTSR.EXE file is executed.
Maybe the LHIPXTSR.EXE is not in the current directory and Searching the Search Path confuses it ????
Maybe you can try it out and see. I didn't do anything special with parameters on LHIPXTSR.EXE or LHIPXSER.NLM
