[HECnet] Intermittent Connection with PyDECnet?

Dumb question - you did ifconfig the tap device as "up", right? Dumb question #2 - you are running pyDECnet as root, right? And note that, for me at least, sudo doesn't work with pyDECnet; somehow it forgets that it's root. I have to do "sudo -i" and the type the pyDECnet command line.

Last night, I incorporated the suggestions from Paul and Robert, and got pydecnet to launch happily and display the web browser status interface. However, it doesn't appear to be seeing packets from either the physical LAN or the other tap interface which I have a simh instance connected to, using either the tap: or pcap: modes. I have not tried the tap: code changes discussed here yet, and I might just wait for Paul to incorporate those in the main release. But I'm surprised that using pcap: mode as Robert suggested didn't work for me. I may have configured something incorrectly. I'll try some more later. -- Mark J.
