TCP/IP Internet interface error - temporary error - hosts

[Chinraj Rajasekaran]

Peter,

enable bind resolver

$ tcpip set name /enable /system

Protection is w:re and owner is system.

The system was rebooted after the installing the patch, but not immediately, in fact it appears that it may have been a few days later.

Peter,

Sorry..!

The BIND resolver should be diabled.

I see both system and process level status is disabled.

Then all name and address lookups
are now directed to the local hosts database.

So current settings are fine.

regards
Raj

Hi Peter
ANy news?

I installed a 7.3-2 on a spare system and patched TCP/IP .... Sorry, HOSTS worked, before and after the reboot!

What more???
Can you go back to a previous OS backup image?

Do a $PROD SHO HIST and revise the installed patches.
Try RE-installing the TCPIP Patch. Shutdown TCPIP first. (Although I did it with TCPIP up "just for fun", I wouldnt do that normally)

Do a $prod remove of the package ...

Sorry, just some ideas!!!
Over to you!

[Peter Barkas]

Thanks all day every day.

I'm busy on a project just now, so I'll struggle by with it as it is, it's a pain but I can use IP addresses for now.

When I have time I will try your suggestions.

Hi,
i have similar problems with telnet-client and ftp-client on OpenVMS 7.3-2 with TCPIPV5.4 Eco 6.
The problem is in the ECO 6. I created a new system disk without further layered products or application software to prevent posible side-effects. Then i installed all rating-1 patches. Things worked fine until i installed the ECO 6....

[Peter Barkas]

Stefan, thank you for confirming that the problem is with ECO 6.

Always let patches ripe for a few months before installing them.

http://www4.itrc.hp.com/service/patch/patchDetail.do?patchid=DEC-AXPVMS-TCPIP_ECO-V0504-156-4&sel={openvms:alpha:7.3-2,}&BC=main|search| is not even showing the release notes. You need to download the patch first. Bad and sad.

Peter, Stefan,

Thanks for the warning!
Saves us from getting hurt also.

Has Engeneering already be informed?
I would assume the patch to be put on hold ASAP, and a corrected one issued.

Proost.

Have one on me.
