Hi Peggy,
I specified the MTU on the Gateway statement! The error was DTCPRS051E - Line 24: Invalid Packet Size in Gateway Command: 16384 Thanks..

In the TCPIP PROFILE I did specify 16K but I received an error so I changed it to 1500 which I new would get around the error. When I did the NETSTAT displays I saw a MFS of 4096 and MTU of 32768. So I guess the question is why did I get the error in the TCPIP PROFILE specifying 16K? Am I missing something? Thanks..

I used a HIPERSOCKETS device that was GENed with CHPARM=40. So > basically it did not use the MTU size that I had defined in the PROFILE TCPIP. CHPARM=40 is a MFS of 24K, not 4096. The MTU = MFS - 8K, so the MTU is 16K. (Doc'd in the IOCP book.) Be sure everyone using the same HiperSocket chpid has the same MTU. If you don't, a PING will work, but a large data transfer won't.
