- HECnet - lists @ Update

Might the issue simply be down to the fact that the IP address is different, and one that you are not expecting? Regards, Mark.

HecNET via 3G Dongle

by mark＠wickensonline.co.uk

Well, After a very convoluted route I've got my draytek router up and running with a 3G dongle. I can browser the internet, use telnet etc, but it appears the bridge traffic is not getting through. $$ dir mim:: %DIRECT-E-OPENIN, error opening MIM::*.*;* as input -RMS-E-FND, ACP file or directory lookup failed -SYSTEM-F-UNREACHABLE, remote node is not currently reachable If I manually try and telnet to psilo.update.uu.se port 4711 I get a network is unreachable. If I ping the same address the ping gets through. Is this something to do with a restriction on port numbers? Is there anything we can do about this, or try? Thanks for the help, Mark. Here's a transcript of what I tried. I can also use ssh no problems. atom:/usr/local/bridge# telnet psilo.update.uu.se 4711 Trying 130.238.19.25... Trying 2001:6b0:b:fff0::19... telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Network is unreachable atom:/usr/local/bridge# ping 130.238.19.25 PING 130.238.19.25 (130.238.19.25) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 130.238.19.25: icmp_seq=1 ttl=47 time=132 ms 64 bytes from 130.238.19.25: icmp_seq=2 ttl=47 time=128 ms 64 bytes from 130.238.19.25: icmp_seq=3 ttl=47 time=134 ms On 11/09/2011 20:52, Johnny Billquist wrote: On 2011-09-11 21.45, Mark Wickens wrote: Guys, Looking to tap into your collective knowledge.

Normally on my DSL router I have a port redirection rule setup on port 4711 to point to a Debian based box on my LAN. How would I achieve the same effect on a linux box?

Thanks for the help, Mark In general, if/when you have a setup like that, it's the same as if you connect your computer directly to the internet. So, your Linux box is at the same location your DSL router is. So, there are no rules to setup to pass a packet through the router. The reason for the rule is that your DSL router acts as a firewall (and possibly NAT), which is what you need to circumvent for the bridge. No firewall/NAT box in between means no need to punch a hole through it. So you should be able to run the bridge directly on that box, and it should work. All however, also depends on what your mobile operator might be doing... Area number for experimental is probably not going to help you, though. You already have an area. Adding more nodes to it is hardly any different than having a new area setup, except that if you setup a new area, you will need an area router for it. I don't really see much point in the "experimental" area we have reserved, but since we have plenty of areas anyway, there is no harm in it. Anyone using that area can expect things to not work though, as someone else might also be using the same area, and conflict/confusion might follow. As for having several different areas on the same lan, no problem. Johnny

Open the box and doisconnect the powersupply wires. Measure voltages at the connectors, start with the disk power outlets since these voltages are known. HP has maintenance manuals on-line for some systems, check that. ------Origineel bericht------ Van: Sampsa Laine Afzender: owner-hecnet at Update.UU.SE Aan: hecnet at Update.UU.SE Beantwoorden: hecnet at Update.UU.SE Onderwerp: [HECnet] CHIMPY's died Verzonden: 11 september 2011 21:43 Chimpy wont boot for some reason anymore.

CHIMPY's died

try leaving it alone, unplugged for a week, it may not work in your case but who knows it happened to me only once in life, but I had a dead machine resurrecting by itself a week later without doing absolutely nothing, I still don't know what happened that box worked for twenty years "after" the problem Also on a VAX, I had a dead machine that started working again but this one had lights, just needed to recharge something before it would start running tests again this box had been unplugged for too many years sometimes a bad battery pack does also some strange things cheers :) On Sun, Sep 11, 2011 at 2:22 PM, Gregg Levine <gregg.drwho8 at gmail.com> wrote: On Sun, Sep 11, 2011 at 4:24 PM, Sampsa Laine <sampsa at mac.com> wrote: The power comes on and stuff happens, but no diagnostic beeps or anything.

I'll need to supply a node allocation to participants before the event, and as I am sending out an email shortly I'd like to provide the most accurate picture of what we can do - and have an answer when people ask. I'll be taking my AlphaServer 1000A (nodename SLAVE) which is acting as an area router for area 4, so I can just plug that in and it will work. Is it best then to give you some new node names before the event for area 4, depending on how many people want to participate? Just to clarify: there is no real need to provide nodenames. DECnet don't have a concept of a centralized nodename database. I just try to keep one around for our own convenience. For an event like this, just node numbers needs to be organized. People participating can then define their own nodename database to their hearts content. Every machine on a DECnet can have their own nodename database for the network, which don't have to match anything anyone else have anyway. If you want to provide some sort of service in this area, what you could do is take their requests, and set those up on a machine you have there, and then tell them to copy the nodename database from you to have them have some kind of unified, consistent view. On that machine you can also have the nodenames setup for the rest of HECnet, so that they get those too... And if there are name conflicts, you can decide how you want to handle it. Probably, in most cases, people there will be less interested in random nodes on HECnet than their fellow participants in the event, so you might want to allow them to grab "used" names anyway. So, bring SLAVE:: to the event, and use that as a central source for nodenames for participants at the event. Afterwards you can re-copy the nodename database from MIM:: to get you back to the "normal" life. And you can let them use any nodenumber you want on area 4, except the one you have SLAVE:: have, I guess. :-) Johnny -- Johnny Billquist || "I'm on a bus || on a psychedelic trip email: bqt at softjar.se || Reading murder books pdp is alive! || tryin' to stay hip" - B.

New network card in the Alpha, how do I reconfigureDECNET?

by hvlems＠zonnet.nl

Mark, Since my phone only allows topposting I've deleted the original text. Your question was how decnet devices get their names. The letters indicate the controller, they tell you what hardware is in use. So UNA indicates a DEUNA and ESA an on board controller for a microVAX. After the hyphen follows the controller number, the first interface is nr 0. VMS device names differ: two ethernet controllers may be called EWA0: and EWB0: in VMS and be known in NCP as EWA-0 and EWA-1. The name for the circuit is the same for the line (AFAIK). Serial interfaces (for DDCMP) or CI interfaces follow different rules. Hans Verzonden vanaf mijn draadloze BlackBerry -toestel

I've augmented that with a PCI DE500 100MB network card. My question is how I move DECnet off the old card (which is now disconnected) to the new card. I've tried running NETCONFIG but this doesn't seem to recognise the new card. The old card is EWA0: the new one EWB0: The remote booting and cluster server are running fine, so the machine boots OK off the new card, and I have reconfigured TCP/IP for the new card, it's just DECNET I'm stumbling with. The old card won't be connected to the network any more. Thanks for the help, Mark. Verzonden vanaf mijn draadloze BlackBerry -toestel Thanks, I did re-run netconfig and it didn't seem to make any difference, but maybe I got caught in the make change/reboot trap. I've just rebooted and it's working. So for reference could I ask the question of how decnet associates a network controller with the decnet configuration? Cheers, Mark

New network card in the Alpha, how do I reconfigure DECNET?

by hvlems＠zonnet.nl

Two options: 1 rerun Netconfig, 2 manually create the circuit EWA-1 and line EWA-1 (assuming that the current ones are called EWA-0).

Hmm, it's working now? Any one else want to try it and see if the 503 was a random hamster dying or something?

MMJ posted (was Re: [HECnet] Anyone with a spare MMJ cable + RS232 adapter?)

by schwa.phil＠gmail.com

Sampsa - The cables are in the mail. The total for shipping was Can$ 8.98 all in, so if you want to send me Can$ 32 at your convenience, you can paypal this e-mail address. No tracking number - just letter post, small padded envelope. I tested them before sending, but if there's any trouble or they don't arrive, please let me know. Cheers, Phil
