I am also attempting to gateway to another inter-university ethernet network, so I have installed a second DEQNA in the MicroVAX. I rebuilt the kernel with two qe's defined and fired up the new system. I was able to use the ethernet for communications on the university but noticed some very strange problems with the kernel. I discovered that the commands "ps ax" and "netstat -i" would print out the header on the standard output device, but the rest of the output was not appearing. I thought there may be a problem with the new DEQNA and shut the system down to single user mode and rebooted the system. I booted the system in single user mode and I entered the "ps ax" command at the console and once again noticed that the header was printed at the console but no line print outs about swapper and the other immediate processes. I decided to call customer service and run some hardware tests. I swapped DEQNA's and ran ethernet communications on a system with one DEQNA configured in the kernel. Everything ran just fine! I booted up the kernel with two DEQNA's and once again experienced the problems discussed above. I decided to run a little trick and define both IP addresses to have the same network number and attempt communications. I was able to telnet to either IP address and run basic communications. Unfortunately, some standard output lines were not arriving at the standard output device as was experienced at the console, dhu terminals, or ethernet/telnet logons. I do not have the slightest clue as to what the problem may be. If this is well know information and does not deserve reply posting, please mail information to: woodward@eecs.nwu.edu or ernie@accuvax.nwu.edu or ernie@nuacc.bitnet Thanks for all the help in the past and I will greatly appreciate any advice anyone has to offer.
