LEGATO can't talk to ROOSTA ("remote node not currently reachable") even though there's a direct Multinet link to ROOSTA (and yes, the link is UP and working). I think the problem is that ROOSTA is in area 6, and the area router for 6 is STAR69. Trouble is, STAR69 doesn't have a path to ROOSTA and doesn't know how to send it packets. Unless ROOSTA is an area router, that link makes no sense. You cannot have (usable) links between different areas unless both ends are area routers... It would appear something is more broken currently. I can't talk to SG1 from MIM either, and thus nothing beyond it. And SG1 is currently acting as the next hop for a whole bunch of areas, as seen from area 1. Also, while I'm at it: NIKKEL - There is some issue with that machine too. Can others talk with it? Johnny
