Environment
Novell NetWare 6.5 Support Pack 5

hours will not be honored and a keep alive will be sent on the 2
hour mark.
Setting the keep alive to anything less than 2 hours will send a keep alive at the sent interval.
Setting the keep alive to anything less than 2 hours will send a keep alive at the sent interval.
Resolution
Currently this issue is not seen to cause any problems. If
ncp keep alives are suspected of causing any type of problem they
can be disabled by setting it to 0.
Additional Information
The default ncp tcp keep alive interval is about 10 minutes.
Typically if an application does not set the keep alive timer the
tcp stack will default the timer to 2 hours.
