Anders,
In your bridge configuration - you have a bridge with tap0 connected but you haven’t added the Ethernet adapter in, so it won’t go beyond an internal bridge.
If you are running your Hecnet machines on the same host, you will need to add each of their tap adapters into the bridge. If you are running physical hardware on the local Ethernet you will need
to add the Ethernet adapter (might be eth0 or ens160 or similar) into the bridge.
Cheers, Wiz!!

Anders... I can see that KASKAL:: have connection to the rest of HECnet, so your problem is purely an issue with your PyDECnet talking to your KLH10 nodes.
Two questions: Are the KLH10 instances running on the same host as PyDECnet, or do you have multiple actual machines on which these are running?
Also, you create bridge0, which is what PyDECnet is talking to for local ethernet connections. Are your KLH10 machines connected to that same bridge somehow? Otherwise that would obviously be where the problem might be.
Running as root or not... Can't comment on that, as I haven't played with it.

"Moved around" essentially means updating theufw firewall settings and

Myguess is that ioctl UNSETIFF on theethernetinterfacerquirsroottosucceed, but
effctive UID is nowprobably 129 (my DECnet pseudou-user. Anychanceof setting
the interface parameters beforetransfering control to UID 129)? I haven'tlooked
hrough thecodeto findout.
Removing the --uid decnet option however lets pydecnet run as root,and now the
error diagnstics re gonefromthelog file,but still I can'treach KSKAL orany
other HECnetnode frommy local machines:
OPR>ENTER (command subset) NCP

So, now Ihavetwo problems. My pydecnet runs as root, which shouldn't betoo
muchof an issue untilIstart experimentingwithcustom DECnetserver scripts on
the outer and more importantly,my configuraton is still dysfunctional,as I
have no connectivity to or via the router.
i intendthe HTTP server to beavailableat http://kaskal.pdcs.org:8036/ though
I'mnot sure my setupisstable enough for it to work allthetime,Ihavea ZTE
broadband routerreporting its IP address to dyndns.One of the KLH10 hosts
should bereachable via "ssh rarity@kaskal.pdcs.org" (without apassord) to a
non-logged-in EXEC where atleast theINFORMATION (ABOUT) DECNET command is
availabe, in case anyonewants to see itscurrent status.
I can aaccess it locally however,and NSP Characteristics lists maybe a thousand
nodes in a table.
So,theremaining issuewill likely require me to dig a little deeper in the pydecnet debugging options, any particular feature I could investigate?
