What happens when the host uses a dynamically assigned IP address?

by gregg.drwho8＠gmail.com

Hello! According to the ISP it will change only when the hardware used to connect to the Internet gets restarted. So far that last happened several weeks earlier. ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8 at gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again."

Still thinking about working on how to bring up a system that's eligible for participation within our group. The only stumbling block isn't the OS or the emulated system. In fact it happens to be the fact that my Internet connection is managed via a DSL device who is assigned an IP address via PPPoE services. Does any of our members also have that problem? I actually asked the service provider what was involved with ordering service for a static one several years earlier. Problem then, was that the copper was too old in my part of the country. I imagine that FIOS (Fiber-optic based service from the phone company) is the reason why the copper isn't be upgraded. And since my cable company can be all thumbs when performing service I turned down their offers...... Several people (including me) do not have a fixed address. However, my ISP seems to change my IP less than once a year, so it's not really a big problem. So I think it more depends on how often do you see address changes? Johnny

If you are that worried about your security on a given system then make a standalone system available to the world and be done with it. I am sure that I could come up with something if I could only find the time... It really isn't that difficult. -Steve ________________________________ From: owner-hecnet at Update.UU.SE on behalf of Mark Wickens Sent: Wed 9/25/2013 10:47 To: hecnet at Update.UU.SE Subject: Re: [HECnet] Public access?

Does anybody mind 'outsiders' getting access to HECnet? I don't mind. Most will probably not explore the fact that there is a big DECnet behind the machines. It is not that we are preventing people today either. It's just that there have never been much fuss about HECnet. However, I can understand if some people feel worried about traffic and issues. If so, let us know, and we'll try to think of what to do. This is why I manually vet the account requests - if the email address or name seem totally bullshit, I just ignore the request. I get maybe 2-3 new users per week on each system..I personally don't want to let the Deathrow guys behind my firewall :) sampsa Sampsa I'd seriously consider picking Steven Hoffman's brains on this before opening a system up to the world. I had thought about trying to get a VMS box collocated for a 'UK deathrow' experience but Hoff seriously put me off the idea ;) And I think you have the same 'seat of your pants' mentality that I do, which probably isn't a win when you're looking to manage a public facing system (or at least a public facing system that the public know about!)

No, it's an implementation of DECnet in Python. Right now it speaks routing and MOP; other layers later. paul On Sep 25, 2013, at 3:07 PM, Sampsa Laine <sampsa at mac.com> wrote: pydecnet?

Yes, which is why I hadn't made much progress myself. :) I do need to get things setup to test your GRE bits though. -brian On Wed, Sep 25, 2013 at 06:08:14PM +0000, Paul_Koning at Dell.com wrote: You mean my pydecnet protocol stack?
