tcp-ip@ucbvax.ARPA (07/05/85)
From: Dennis Rockwell <drockwel@CSNET-SH.ARPA> Folks, If your connections to hosts on CSNET-PDN seem a bit strained this week, here's why: the core gateways are confused about it, and will point you in the wrong direction, then tell you that you can't get there from here. If you are on the ARPAnet, please tell your host to get to 192.5.58 though 10.4.0.5. If not, or if you cannot change your routing tables, please send mail through csnet-relay using either <@csnet-relay.arpa:dbj@rice.arpa> or dbj%rice@csnet-relay.arpa (to use a prime victim as an example). To the XNI people: please route your outgoing mail through csnet-relay for the duration (ie, tcp-ip%nic@csnet-relay). The gateway team is working on it, after being dragged unceremoniously out of bed (this is a BBN holiday; I'm only here myself because of this). Dennis Rockwell CSNET Technical Staff PS: the really bizarre thing is that RICE-NET is perfectly reachable; both RICE-NET and CSNET-PDN are advertised by Paul Kirton's EGP running on CSNET-RELAY.
