: HELP!! I've been trying to get through to the kilowatt archive-server AND to
: archive-management and neither address is working!

: 421 kilowatt.sun.com.tcp... Deferred: Connection timed out during user open
: with kilowatt.sun.com

I've had precisely the same trouble.  I think that kilowatt is registered
incorrectly with the name server.  It thinks that kilowatt is directly on
the Internet:

kilowatt.sun.com     A = 129.150.54.46

but it is not.  There should be an MX record pointing to sun.com, but
this record is missing.  The address that does work for me is:

archive-server%kilowatt@sun.com
