Why can't I get through to sri-nic to get a host table update? Did I miss something in the last month? I can send and receive mail just fine, but I cannot use ftp or even ping. Could it be our gateway? Hello? Toto I don't think we're in Vienna, VA anymore.... wood y

I can't tell you why you couldn't get thru to the NIC for a host table update. I can tell you that on July 9th, 60 people did get thru and retrieve a host table, despite some network related problems we had. If you can supply specific details of your problem to ACTION@SRI-NIC.ARPA we will investigate. Mark -------

Woody, The Wicked Witch of the East wasn't zapped by Dorothy's house after all. She managed to axe some useful nets from the linkabit-gw tables, including 192.5.39 (us). The tables, after all, are too small. As for SRI-NIC, try to connect to its ARPANET address 10.0.0.51 directly, rather than its hosts.txt address, which is on MILNET. Dave
