PATHWORKS 7.3 ADVANDCED SERVER

[robert70]

odd Problem

2 alpha ds20e on same network

1 runs vms 7.3-2 and pathworks 6.0c
network mask on this machine is 255.255.255.128

the other runs vms 8.3 and pathworks 7.3B
when the network mask is 255.255.255.0 a PC can connect to shares, when the network mask is 255.255.255.128 it cant? also the command "net send" runs on the 1st machine but only runs on the 2nd when the mask is set to 255.255.255.128

is it possible to get both apps working at the same time from the 2nd machine and why does it rely so heavily on the subnet mask setting?

as of next week only the 2nd alpha will be on the network so i am hoping both net send and pathworks will be ok?

And what are all the IP addresses and
netmasks on all these systems? And how many
disagree?

For the same reason(s) that _all_ of IP
networking relies on correct subnet mask
settings? If you're asking this question,
then you may not be the right person to be
configuring this stuff.

[robert70]

yes all the pc's are subnet mask 255.255.255.128 also

but why when 2 alphas on same subnet mask 255.255.255.128 does only one of them appear to allow connections via pathworks shares?

Do you think that that answered my question?

An actual answer would be more helpful.

[Andy Bustamante]

Silly questions, do both systems have license units available? Are you running the Pathworks 32 software on the PCs. What is the operating system on the PC(s)attempting to connect. Are the PCs and Alphaservers on the same subnet?

[robert70]

Silly questions, do both systems have license units available?

yes they both do

Are you running the Pathworks 32 software on the PCs.

yes - but dont think this is totally required?

What is the operating system on the PC(s)attempting to connect.

Windows XP Pro

Are the PCs and Alphaservers on the same subnet?

Yes all on the same subnet - when one alpha changes to a different subnet pathworks shares become available on both

[Steven Schweda]

> Yes all on the same subnet - [...]

PROVE IT. Display the IP addresses, as
repeatedly requested. Having the same
netmask is not the same as being on the same
subnet. Your opinion, while interesting, is
not so valuable as actual facts (which you
seem adamant about hiding).

In short: THIS is your answer!

Nerwerk masks and IP adresses are really binary nmubers represented decimal.
... and .128 implies the first bit set, where .20 has not. Only addresses > .128 will "get masked in".

Proost.

Have one on me.

[Steven Schweda]

It's like pulling teeth with your bare hands.

> 2 alpha ds20e on same network

> alpha

Which "alpha" is this? The one which works?
The one which doesn't?

Which part of "all" is so difficult to
understand?

Do you really expect to get any useful (free)
advice if you refuse to supply any (or
enough) useful information (as repeatedly
requested)?


> [...] Only addresses > .128 will "get

Huh?

[robert70]

yes sorry the alpha DAVE is the one that isnt working

[Sam Samalsson]

Class B net
netmask 255.255.255.128
network 129.94.185.0
broadcast 129.94.185.127
host addresses from 129.94.185.1 to 129.94.185.126

Are you within the limits on all the hosts ?
Do you have address conflicts on your subnet ?

Check the log files and event logs.

Check the TCPIP setup on all your hosts together with a friend.

Good luck !

[robert70]

>Are you within the limits on all the hosts ?

yes - the hosts are 45 and 46

>Do you have address conflicts on your subnet ?

no

[Hans Hosang]

Then, Robert, they "should" be able to speak with eachother.

Next thing I would check is the IP gateway.
Is this gateway within the IP range Sam indicated?
If not, that could be your problem.

PC: ipconfig /all
VMS: tcpip sho route

[Hans Hosang]

Other option;
Is your issue with PWRK ONLY?
Does telnet and other IP communication work well?
Do you have multiple IP interfaces in the box?
If so, do you have defined pwrk$knbdaemon_device logical name to the wrong interface?

[robert70]

Next thing I would check is the IP gateway.

the gateway is 129.94.185.1

If not, that could be your problem.

$ DAVE:SYSTEM> show log pwrk$knbdaemon_device

[Hans Hosang]

Robert, it would have been handy if you would have splitup the 2 tables from the 2 alpha's, now its one bunch of spaghetty.
But, what I see sounds very wrong to me.
In the routing table i see:

AH 129.94.185.20 129.94.185.20

So here you are telling VMS that if it needs to send traffic to your PC (129.94.185.20) through interface 129.94.185.20.
It doesn't have an interface 129.94.185.20.
So that will fail.

please remove that route

[robert70]

i see what you mean
i have removed this

[Hans Hosang]

OK, and since you don't say that it still fails, I guess it works OK now ??

[robert70]

no sorry still fails

[Hans Hosang]

Assuming it is the V7.3B node that fails (I can't read that from your description), do you have the logical pwrk$knbdaemon_ipaddr defined as the THIS Alpha's IP address?

Can you post the IP route table from only this node?

[robert70]

>Assuming it is the V7.3B node that fails (I can't read that from your description),

YES thats correct

>do you have the logical pwrk$knbdaemon_ipaddr defined as the THIS Alpha's IP address?

$ DAVE:SYSTEM> show log pwrk$knbdaemon_ipaddr
"PWRK$KNBDAEMON_IPADDR" = "129.94.185.46" (LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE)

>Can you post the IP route table from only this node?
