I am not sure this is the correct place to post this so any suggestions of other appropriate news-groups would be appretiated. I am the system manager for an MV10000 running AOS/VS 6.01 and AOS/VS Internet software (TCP/IP, TELNET and FTP). We had a small local network consisting of 7 Sun systems, 5 Vax/Unix systems, 2 Vax/VMS Systems, several PC's with telnet software, and a Multiflow Trace (UNIX) system. In this configuration, everything works Ok, the MV10000 can talk to these systems (except the VMS ones, of course) and can be connected to from these systems. When we added a bridge to the Internet (essentially a repeater), the MV systems TCP/IP, TELNET and FTP all quit working. The only traffic we see through the bridge are IP, ARP, RARP, and ICMP. Broadcast packets are filtered out by the bridge as are other protocols (Decnet, XNS, etc...). All of the other systems in our network work just fine on the Internet. Can anyone provied any suggestions as to what the problem might be ? Any and all ideas are welcome ! (Please !) One note - The Data General TCP/IP software has very little in the way of configuration setup - I can set host ID's and gateway routes but have no control over broadcast packets, arp, or other "normal" things that can be controlled in most Unix systems. Once again - I am desperate for a solution, so any ideas are welcome. P. Allen Jensen jensen@gt-eedsp.gatech.edu gatech!gt-eedsp!jensen -- P.

So true - and the manuals doesn't say much either. ------------------ Jan Bruun Andersen Computer Science Department, Roskilde University Center e-mail: d.jba@meza.ruc.dk -- Jan Bruun Andersen Computer Science Department, Roskilde University Center e-mail: d.jba@meza.ruc.dk
