netmonitor on 5.3 flaking out occasionally

[Tom Patton]

AIX 5.1

Using unsupported hcinetmonitor.exe

Once in a while (once a week lately) the netmonitor for a site will have it’s threads all flip to dead.  hciconnstatus via command line shows these are really up.  Generally, we can refresh the display and it returns to normal.  At times, we must shut down the window and restart.

We have 4 different sites that we monitor, 2 on one pc and 2 on another.  Only one site is affected at a time – and the site and pc monitor changes each time.

I can’t seem to locate any errors that might indicate what the problem might be.

Anyone seen this or have any ideas how I might trap this error?

Thank you,
