Hello

I have two TI Explorers II on a subnet, its gateway is a UNIX machine. How
can I get the Explorers to communicate with the machines on the other subnets?

Their Namespace contains the definition of:
	- the two explorers
	- several UNIX machines on their subnet
	- a machine on another subnet
	- the UNIX machine serving as a gateway, for which we specified 
	  the following:
		. the gateway addresses for both subnets (while doing 
		  this the system never asked, as it should according to 
		  the documentation, whether it was subnetted.
		. the service (:gateway :ip :ip-gateway)
		. the IP-ADDR-SUBNET-BITS, in our case 
		  (("132.206.61 8")  ("132.206.62 8"))

If you know the solution to this problem I would greatly appreciate any help you
might give me. Thank you in advance.

I cannot tell you everything you might have left out. But I noticed you
did not mention setting the SECURE-SUBNETS property of your SITE object
in the namespace. That could account for the problem. You should set it
to ((:IP "132.206.61.0" "132.206.62.0")) if you any want the Explorers
to accept connections from any host on the 132.206.61 and 132.206.62
networks or((:IP "132.206.0.0")) if you want them to accept connections
from any host on the whole 132.206 family of networks.

Hope that does the trick for you.
