SYMPTOMS
PU Passthru connections to a remote end may stay in a pending status and
not be able to reactivate.
CAUSE
When you use PU Passthru with Distributed Link Services, a window exists
whereby one of the remote ends can send an XID to the Node after the Node
has sent it the Open-Station-Request. This caused the Node to reject the
Open-Station-Response and Station-Contacted message, and thus fail to
activate either of the PU Passthru Connections.
RESOLUTION
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server version
4.0 Service Pack 1. This problem was corrected in the latest SNA Server
version 4.0 U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining this Service Pack,
