Hi All,
I've tried this in every way I can think of. I have a feeling the solution will be incredibly simple, but it has eluded me. So here's my issue:
I have the following version of MultiNet installed:
Process Software MultiNet 5.5 Rev A, VAXserver 3900 Series, OpenVMS VAX V7.3
When I run MULTINET CHECK, I get the following three warnings:
%MNCHK-W-HTNLADDR, address 192.168.1.100 in host table for local host name canth.belanger.com is not an interface address
%MNCHK-W-NSNLADDR, address 192.168.1.100 in DNS for local host name canth.belanger.com is not an interface address
%MNCHK-W-INVLOOKFAIL, inverse lookup on local IP address 192.168.1.100 failed
The interface configuration is defined as follows:
MultiNet Network Configuration Utility V5.5(109)
[Reading in MAXIMUM configuration from MULTINET:MULTINET.EXE]
[Reading in configuration from MULTINET:NETWORK_DEVICES.CONFIGURATION]
NET-CONFIG>show
Interface Adapter CSR Address Flags/Vector
--------- ------- ----------- ------------
se0 (Shared VMS Ethernet/FDDI) -NONE- -NONE- -NONE-
[TCP/IP: 192.168.1.100, IP-SubNet: 255.255.255.0 (/24), IP-Broadcast: 192.168.1.255]
[VMS Device: XQA0, Link Level: Ethernet ]
DHCP Client for the interface is enabled
Official Host Name: canth.belanger.com
Default IP Route: 192.168.1.1
Domain Nameservers: 127.0.0.1
192.168.1.1
Timezone: EST
Timezone Rules: US/EASTERN
Load UCX $QIO driver: TRUE
Load PWIP (Pathworks) driver: TRUE
DHCP Client Flag: 1
When I try an NSLOOKUP for the localhost name (canth) I get the following:
Server: LOCALHOST
Address: 127.0.0.1
*** LOCALHOST can't find CANTH: Non-existent host/domain
The HOSTSS.LOCAL file has the following:
HOST : 192.168.1.100 : canth.belanger.com : VAXSERVER-3900-SERIES : VMS : :
Any help any one could give me will be appreciated.
Thanks,
~Jon.

Do you know the NIC is working?
- Does DECnet work?
- Can you ping your gateway? |

Yes and yes. Specifically, for DECnet, I don't have any other DECnet nodes on my network, so I cannot do something other than SET HOST 0.
I can ping the gateway, the host PC, and even google.com.
This all started because I was trying to use the font server in Multinet and it would fail because it could not translate the ip host address of the X11 server, even though it is defined in the HOSTS.LOCAL file. I then tried running the MULTINET CHECK and got the above errors. I have a feeling that it is something in the definition of the se0 device.

The more I look at what I put up the more I'm thinking it is the IP-Subnet defined on the se0 interface. It says 255.255.255.0, shouldn't this be 194.168.1.0?

I changed the IP-subnet, but not change in the check. The addresses are still not an interface address.

Hi All,
Maybe the simpler question will be, can someone, running Multinet, do a MULTINET SHOW /ALL and either post the result here, or send them to me in a PM?
Since, I have a hobbyist license, asking Process Software for support is not a viable option.
Thanks,
~Jon.

255.255.255.0 as the subnet was probably correct. What's the subnet of the host server.
The folks at Process Software are pretty nice. They might help you out.
I suggest rerunning the Multinet configuration procedure:
$ multinet configure /menu !Multinet Configuration Menu System
Like you, I am not a Multinet expert. When I encounter it, I poke along and figure it out. |
