TCP/IP Query Interval (pcAnywhere) (All Windows)
Category: Home > Software > pcAnywhere

Use this setting to limit network traffic. Sometimes the additional network queries to refresh the browse list will interfere with getting status lights or making connections.

Set this registry item to a high value if you get a message that a known ready host is busy when you try to connect to the host, and direct packets are not filtered. It is especially important to increase this value if the TCPIPBrowseDelay value has been increased, because it is difficult to connect if the network query is going on at the same time.

The default is 50 seconds. The minimum setting is 30 seconds. A setting of zero turns off all list updates.

Settings:
System Key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\pcANYWHERE\CurrentVersion\System]
Name: TCPIPQueryInterval
Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)
