Most are on SR10.2 but we have 2 nodes still on SR9.7. Our DN4000 has an ethernet controller card and acts as a gateway to the campus ethernet. The primary network is Apollo Token Ring. We recently installed TCP/IP on the gateway node. It starts daemons tcpd, routed, inetd and enables telnet and ftp services. It works fine. The problem is that I can't get the other (non-gateway) nodes in the network to telnet to computers outside the primary domain ring. It can successfully telnet to the gateway node, though. To install TCP/IP on the non-gateway node (which is also my admin node, BTW, so I know there isn't a problem with links), I start daemons llbd, tcpd, routed (-f -q options). No inetd daemon since I don't want to enable it to ACCEPT connections. The interface on the gateway node for DR0 and ETH1 (I misunderstood and configured the jumper on the ethernet controller card to be eth1 instead of eth0) are as follows: dr0: flags=43 inet 128.121.72.1 netmask ff000000 broadcast 126.0.0.0 eth1: flags=43 inet 128.189.67.2 netmask ffff0000 broadcast 128.189.0.0 macaddr 8:0:1e:1:63:91 The interface on the tcp/ip host is: dr0: flags=43 inet 126.122.72.4 netmask ff000000 broadcast 126.0.0.0 The tcp/ip host learns its own address from the host table at startup. I read something awhile back in this newsgroup about bugs in the router or in TCP/IP ... but I've lost the messages. Am I missing something??? Has anyone else done this? Is the mixed SR9 SR10 network giving me problems? Response from the hostline on this has been poor to say the least. Any help would be appreciated. Lynda Wong.
