Message-ID: <2678@ucbvax.ARPA> Date: Thu, 18-Oct-84 19:47:20 EDT Article-I.D.: ucbvax.2678 Posted: Thu Oct 18 19:47:20 1984 Date-Received: Sat, 20-Oct-84 07:10:26 EDT Sender: daemon@ucbvax.ARPA Organization: University of California at Berkeley Lines: 19 From: Ron TencatiDennis, Paul Milazzo contacted me yesterday and helped me get my routes straightto RICE. I can now send to RICE and IAP, which means both of those networks are now "reachable". I usually don't know who I can't get to until one of my users sends netmail to somewhere, and I notice that the mail just sits there for 4 or 5 days. The current problem seems to be host bbn-labs-b.arpa. I can't open a connection on either 8.7.0.2 or 128.11.1.2. What I get are time-outs. The software we run is the Kashtan/4.1cBSD package under VMS. We got itabout 2 years ago. Dave has been helpful in getting us software that updates our host tables. I update to a new table as soon as I get the message from NIC. As I mentioned previously, the errors we see are "network unreachable", or "connection timed out" while trying to send mail (Telnet and FTP do it also).Thank you for your information and offer to help. Slowly but surely, things are looking up. Ron ------
