network foo

[jerry1]

We recently changed DNS from UNIX to Windows DDNS. :(

Does anyone have any info on suns snoop
equivalent on HP?

Does anyone know what this means from snoop
output?:

appsvr1.acc.test.com -> all-routers.mcast.net drops: 0 IP D=224.0.0.2 S=128.166.11.95 LEN=32, ID=31812
appsvr1.acc.test.com -> reserved-multicast-range-not-delegated.example.com drops: 0 IP D=228.5.6.7 S=128.166.11.95 LEN=32, ID=16399

------------------------------
adc-ce-01.cesysnet.com -> xtm185.acc.test.com drops: 0 DNS R Error: 3(Name Error)

The sun's snoop equivalent in HP-UX is nettl.

nettl - control network tracing and logging

As far as the error you are receiving, looks like the IP address is not being resolved or not coming across, but just my guess only, just somewhere to start troubleshooting.

Good Luck

I've tried to use nettl but I can't get any
real info from it. I must not be using it
right.

Might want to collect some more readable data from ethereal or tcpdump.

It would appear that the dns data mirgration was not done right or non-standard features and implementation are to blame on the Microsoft side.

You can do man on nettl and get all the options with it

nettl -start Used alone without other options. Initialize the tracing and logging facility, start up default logging, and optionally start up console logging. Logging is enabled for all subsystems as determined by the /etc/nettlgen.conf file. Log messages are sent to a log file whose name is determined by adding the suffix .LOG000 to the log file name specified in the /etc/nettlgen.conf configuration

nettl -status

nettl -stop

nettl -firmlog 0|1|2 -card dev_name ...

nettl -log class ... -entity subsystem ...

nettl -status [log |trace |all]

Hope this helps
