PWIP Driver (for DECnet-Plus and PATHWORKS) fails to start

[Ian Miller.]

Trey enable the resolver and point it at localhost as its DNS server

Hello everyone,
I'd like to thank you all for your responses, support suggestions and help.
The solution was provided by all of you very soon but the missing point was my lack of knowledge. I've finally tried to configure resolver and point it to localhost name SMFT71. After that reconfiguration + reboot thinks start to behave as normal.

Thanks again a lot to all!

Hi Petr,

Glad it's working. Not so glad, however, that enabling the BIND Resolver may have fixed it.

I did a bit more research and found the fix was put in ECO3 (it's in the ECO4 release notes :O).

Thus far I've tried reproducing with ECO4 and could not (but I think I need to reboot the server and let TCP/IP start fresh with the Bind Resolver disabled to be 100% sure).

Haven't had a chance to try eco6 (nor eco7) yet.

Wonder if just the reboot could have fixed it.?.

Hi,

Installed eco6 and now TCPIP$PWIPACP won't start - exact same errors as Petr posted.

I'll try ECO7...

Hi,

It's working again after installing the EC0 7 kit...

Faith (temporarily) restored.

Hi Paul,
Thanks a lof for providing your results regarding ECO7 installation. Even if I've solved the case by cheating the resolver, I'm considering to ask our customer to consider ECO7 installation. If approved, I'll share my results here with all who are interested in.

Cheers
Petr
