We have a simple setup here with 13 macs 2 lw's on a phonenet/localtalk leg with a Kenetics Fastpath 4 into Ethernet. We are running Pacerlink for file server functions and that runs ok (when the 8600 is up-another story). Pacer on the mac seems to do TCP ok but NCSA Telnet 2.2 isn't able to connect to the VAX running Wollogong's software. I'm using the IP subnetting the appletalk side is 10.0.1.* and the ETHERNET side is 10.0.0.* (eg. i'm 10.0.1.2 and the VAX is 10.0.0.1). the KFP is respectively 10.0.1.128 and 10.0.0.16. Inall places the subnet mask is ff00ff00. Any thoughts?? Acknowledge-To: <C4898@UMSLVMA>

We had many problems with the subnetmasking. We have a couple of subnetted B class nets with approx 15 MVax 3600's under Utrix and VMS. WRT Subnetting under NCSA 2.2, we found that it had no understanding of it. If we set the mask to its correct value, we couldn't connect to anything. If we used no masks then there is not a problem at all. Another problem with ver 2.2 is its understanding of discrete nets. We have found that 2.2 can not connect to another B class net, only the one that its KFP is connected to. We have overcome this problem by reverting to NCSA 2.1. As we are also running the Wollongong software software on our vax's and our configurations appear to be similar, please contact me directly at the address below if you continue having problems. I will be only too glad to help if I can. bambi ... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ David J.
