I'm posting for a friend without newsgroup access, and I'll try to
describe the setup as completely as possible (which may be a problem,
given my ignorance of the Pathworks system). She is using MSK 3.14, with
a Pathworks 5.11 client, and has loaded the DIS_PKT9 shim in config.sys,
and has included the specified [pktdrv] info in protocol.ini.
After some tweaking, the packet driver seems to be recognized, and the
session proceeds toward the gateway, but seems to stop there.
I'm not familiar with the network, itself, but they're using the default
BROADCAST value, with both the gateway and machine on the same network.
Nevertheless, the session seems to be unable to identify the gateway
machine. Here's a snippet of the session:
------
IBM-PC MS-DOS Kermit: 3.14 18 Jan 1995
Copyright (C) Trustees of Columbia University 1982, 1995.
; They installed the 5/95 3.14 update after this, but with no change.
MS-DOS Kermit 314 initialization file...
; These are responses from the startup script:
TCP/IP Status is 0. (0 = Ok)
No. of Active Sessions: 0
; This is the IP Address for the U.S. National Library of Medicine:
Resolving address of host 130.14.10.200 ...
Unable to ARP resolve gateway 198.161.10.2
Unable to contact the host.
The host may be down or a gateway may be needed.
Host Unreachable..
-------
Sounds to me like a problem with the gateway, but they have no trouble
getting out through the Pathworks TCPIP program. I forgot to ask whether
the Pathworks TCPIP program was still loaded when Kermit was run, but I
guess I assumed that it would have taken over the TCP/IP stack if it
were, and no packet driver would have been found. Perhaps a rash assumption.
Would the Pathworks TCPIP program prevent ARP on the gateway? Any other
hints on the Pathworks setup?
I know the host (NLM) was up, since I used Kermit to telnet down from
here in Boston at the same time they were getting this error up in
Alberta. So it's got to be a local Pathworks configuration problem, is
it not? (Of course, I'm using MSK on NetWare 3.12, not Pathworks.)
All help greatly appreciated. Any Pathworks insight would be sunshine
into the darkness of my ignorance. And I'll pass it along to my Canadian
friend.
