Edgar, Please note that KB article that I mentioned earlier. - The 45 (or 60) second timeout is *only a starting point*. Windows clients dynamically adjust that value depending on the size of the message and network conditions. (See: KB102067) - The list of outstanding commands is scanned every 30 seconds, so the timeout condition may not be detected until 30 seconds after the timeout has actually occurred.
