Equipment: AT&T 3B2-400 Unix V 3.1 Wollongong TCP/IP WIN*/3B Interface Rel 3.0.1 Problem: Can telnet out of the machine but can't telnet in. ie. telnet me and telnet umofm.umeofm.maine.edu and telnet 127.0.01.1 doesn't work. ftp and ping are fine and telnet out of umofm is fine. My senerio: It seems that the telnetd daemon/server is not getting started. I have played with the nlsadmin command with the following results: nlsadmin -x tcp INACTIVE nlsadmin -i net_spec already initialized nlsadmin -s tcp addresses not initialized for tcp When the network software is started I get the following message: nlsadmin: Addresses not initialized for tcpip Any help is appreciated!

If not, you're barking up the wrong tree. Otherwise, you need to set the address that the listener will use to wait to incoming connection requests. This is done with: nlsadmin -l <addr1> -t <addr2> tcp where <addr1> is the address of the general network service and <addr2> is the address used for remote login services. The address format is determined by the interface exported by TCP. You need to check what it is (usually some form of sockaddr_in). Then pick an unused port number and encode the address in ascii hex. For example, assume your internet address was 192.11.102.8 and you chose port number 2000, your address might look something like \xc00b660807d00000, depending on what the address structure is used by their TCP implementation. If this doesn't help, check in /etc/rc2.d to see to there is a startup script for the TCP/IP network. If there is, you can cat the script and tell what it is doing to start things up. If you're in single-user mode, you can see what is happening when the script runs by typing: sh -x <script_name> start I played with earlier versions of the Wollongong product, while it was under development. I don't know if they've changed any of their admin stuff since then. Hope this helps. Steve Rago sar@attunix.att.com

Installing NSU Rel. 1.1 fixed the problem perfectly on my machine (also a 3B2/400 running TCP/IP WIN*/3B Interface Rel. 3.0.1) I hope that helps you too Johannes -- +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | CMIS Austria | Voice: (++43-222) 89 109 Ext. 110 | | NIELSEN Austria | Voice: (++43-222) 89 110 Ext. 110 | | Moeringgasse 20 | Fax: (++43-222) 89 110 77 |
