Can you explain a little more about the randomization of the source port
number? I might be being stupid here, but I don't see what problem that
would cause, the bridge runs over UDP. Or are you talking about some other
way of tunnelling DECnet over IP?
I'm not using the bridge program. I'm using MultiNet's DECnet-over-IP circuit. It sends packets to the remote system over UDP on port 700. The problem is that its source port is also 700. My firewall randomizes the source port for security reasons and is not configurable in that regard. When the destination system receives packets from my network, it drops them because they don't have the right source port.

Subject: [HECnet] Leaving HECnet
I'm working on consolidating my system and as part of this, I'm getting
rid
of my ESXi server that's running my virtual systems. I'm going to move
them
to my file server where I'll simply run them on demand from my Mac.
I thought about keeping HECnet around, but given that my connectivity
hasn't been working anyway due to my firewall's insistence on randomizing
the source port number for the DECnet-over-IP circuit, I think I'm just
going
to drop off at this point. Plus, I don't know when I'd be back online
again in
the future once I shut the server down.
The affected nodes to be removed are 19.300 through 19.304.
Thanks so much for letting me hang around. I still love the idea of a
hobbyist
DECnet. :-)

Well the package installs fine, I am just waiting on an email from Johnny Billquist with the info I need. On Wednesday, October 24, 2012, Rob Jarratt wrote:

Well,
I have been a lurker long enough, I have the router setup on Linux, and ready to install the apt-get install dnet-progs pkg.

No (big) problems here, running Ubuntu, which is debian based...
The routing stuff does not work until you recompile your kernel. And you will want to have Alexey Kuznetsov's iproute2 package. I'm not sure if that one installs by default... Be advised that level 2 (area) routing does not seem to work at all. Oh, and I have go occasional kernel oopses connecting to the linux box using CTERM... :)
