I'm still getting nowhere, however, making CAP work. I've got my FP-4 set up to download atalkatab via tftp, which it seems to be doing fine (I can watch the diagnostic packets in FastPath Manager). My atalkatab and atalk.local files look like: ---------------- 55.1 N2 128.122.136.160 "NYU Ether" #Campus IPTalk 0.1 E 128.122.136.160 "NYU Ether" #Campus EtherTalk 4.10 KC 128.122.136.160 "NYU PHRI" #PHRI LocalTalk I128.122.0.0 I128.122.136.1 # ipbroad, ipname I128.122.136.1 L0 # ipdebug, ipfile L0 L0 L0 L0 S0.1 S200 # other, ethertalk, ddp range LX0 S2 S6 # flags, ipstatic, ipdynamic S4.10 S55.1 # localtalk, iptalk ---------------- # mynet mynode myzone 55.1 1 "NYU Ether" # bridgenet bridgenode bridgeIP 55.1 160 128.122.136.160 # nisnet nisnode 55.1 1 ---------------- Can anybody see anything wrong with them? The problem is that when I start up atis and then run atistest, I get: # atis abInit: [ddp: 55.01, 1] starting 15:29:32 04/17/91 Reply num max for lkup reply is 5 (based on 107) # atistest CAP distribution 6.00 using UDP encapsulation, January 1991 Copyright (c) 1986,1987,1988 by The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York abInit: [ddp: 55.01, 1] starting debugging NBP Registering "atis test:testing@*" NBP SndNBP: sending NBP nbp_timeout: 4 tick timeout on 251657724, 3 remain NBP SndNBP: sending NBP nbp_timeout: 4 tick timeout on 251657724, 2 remain NBP SndNBP: sending NBP nbp_timeout: 4 tick timeout on 251657724, 1 remain NBP SndNBP: sending NBP nbp_timeout: 4 tick timeout on 251657724, 0 remain NBP SndNBP: sending NBP nbp_timeout: 4 tick timeout on 251657724, 3 remain NBP SndNBP: sending NBP nbp_timeout: 4 tick timeout on 251657724, 2 remain NBP SndNBP: sending NBP nbp_timeout: 4 tick timeout on 251657724, 1 remain NBP SndNBP: sending NBP nbp_timeout: 4 tick timeout on 251657724, 0 remain nbp register error because: couldn't register name - is atis running? For each of the nbp_timeout lines above, I can see a single packet go out from wombat (the host I'm running atis/atistest on) to the kbox using tcpdump: % tcpdump proto udp and '(' port 201 or port 202 or port 203 or port 204 or port 205 or port 206 or port 207 or port 208 ')' 15:30:00.90 wombat.phri.nyu.edu.16515 > 128.122.136.160.at-nbp: udp 43 15:30:01.90 wombat.phri.nyu.edu.16515 > 128.122.136.160.at-nbp: udp 43 15:30:02.92 wombat.phri.nyu.edu.16515 > 128.122.136.160.at-nbp: udp 43 15:30:03.94 wombat.phri.nyu.edu.16515 > 128.122.136.160.at-nbp: udp 43 15:30:04.96 wombat.phri.nyu.edu.16516 > 128.122.136.160.at-nbp: udp 43 15:30:05.98 wombat.phri.nyu.edu.16516 > 128.122.136.160.at-nbp: udp 43 15:30:07.00 wombat.phri.nyu.edu.16516 > 128.122.136.160.at-nbp: udp 43 15:30:08.02 wombat.phri.nyu.edu.16516 > 128.122.136.160.at-nbp: udp 43 I'm totally at a loss at this point to figure out what's going on. One thing I don't understand is why the nbp packets get sent to the kbox at all; since atis and atistest are running on the same host, why does the gateway even get into the act? What's even more bothersome, is that I had atis/atistest working a couple of days ago, and I figure out what I did to change things! -- Roy Smith, Public Health Research Institute 455 First Avenue, New York, NY 10016 roy@alanine.phri.nyu.edu -OR- {att,cmcl2,rutgers,hombre}!phri!roy "Arcane?
