Hey ho..... Scenario: a 4D/20 and a 4D/25, both running IRIX 3.2.1, a second SCSI disk on the 4D/20. We appear to be having net related problem with our recently installed second IRIS (4D/25). Two problems in particular seem to be escaping resolution. They may or may not be related to each other. 1) Dog, the multiple-machine interactive flight simulation, is not working between our two IRIS'. Dog runs on both machines without errors however the pilot on the 4D/25 does not see the plane of the pilot on the other IRIS (4D/20). Everything seems fine on the 4D/20. Have I forgotten to throw some switch on the 4D/25? I *have* modified the "dogfight" and "arena" lines in /etc/services to include them. I have also rebooted several times. 2) Althought not thoroughly confirmed, it appears that if there is a program running on the 4D/25 which has an open file on the second disk of the 4D/20, there is a *huge* amount of net traffic originating on the 4D/25 going to the 4D/20 EVEN WHEN IT IS NOT WRITING TO THE DISK!! Any suggestions?
