Gunilla, If I understand you correctly what you're saying is that when your channel has a network problem the sender channel tries to reconnect but the receiver channel hasn't yet realised that there is a network problem since it is still sitting in a TCP/IP recv().
The solution to this problem is to use AdoptMCA. You can configure your server to say that if a new connection is made over the same channel from the same QM and from the same IP address that the previous instance of the channel should be terminated.

We have a lot of qmanagers and they are in different nets with firewalls between. When there is some problem kind of net problem we get channel problem. The receiving side don't understand that the sender side is off. So the receiver is running and when the sender tries to connect it only get in to retry state. We don't have this kind of problem with qmanagers in the same net. Someone that have any ideas?
