- Hi,
-
- I am having a problem with the TCPIP transport finding hosts. I have seen
- this before, when some old UCX files existed in the SYS$SYSTEM directory.
- I have renamed all of the UCX$*.DAT files to other names, but the problems
- persist.
-
- Here is a sample:
-
- VAX2::[] >> sh disp/symb
-
- Device: WSA112: [super]
- Node: XBOSTON
- Transport: TCPIP
- Server: 0
- Screen: 0
-
- VAX2::[] >> mu trac 'DECW$DISPLAY_NODE'
- traceroute to xboston (147.107.244.120), 30 hops max, 38 byte packets
- 1 cn_whip1-e4 (147.107.3.200) 0 ms 0 ms 10 ms
- 2 wpvaxbup (147.107.7.203) 10 ms 10 ms 10 ms
- 3 pwvaxbup-wan (147.107.9.201) 10 ms 10 ms 10 ms
- 4 147.107.1.211 (147.107.1.211) 20 ms 20 ms 10 ms
- 5 boston_site (147.107.245.201) 320 ms 60 ms 110 ms
- 6 xboston (147.107.244.120) 50 ms 80 ms 50 ms
- VAX2::[] >> mu x11
- %X11DEBUG-I-STARTING, MultiNet X11 transport diagnostics starting...
- %X11DEBUG-F-UNKNOWNHOST, unknown host XBOSTON
- -X11DEBUG-I-USERACTION, reissue the SET DISPLAY command with a valid /NODE=
- qualifier
- VAX2::[] >>
-
- As you can see, the node xboston exists and is responding, and MultiNet knows
- about it for the Traceroute, but the TCPIP transport doesn't see it.
-
- I've tried the obvious of putting the host name in quotes so that is is
- "xboston" not XBOSTON but it makes no difference. I've even restarted the
- MultiNet server after renaming the UCX$*.DAT file.
-
- What else can I do? Any suggestions would be gratefully accepted.
-
- Thanks,
- Ari
