Re: Grumble...

Joe & Others with 10.1.x.x Probelms,

        If you are really on a V4R4 June 2000 CUM, at the very least I would
pull the Group PTF for TCP/IP and apply it.  The releases run together in my
mind, but with a number of the rewrites for added IP functionality there
have been issues with the Private Address range of 10.1.x.x.  (It even
caused major grief for us in Common's Labs, I just can't remember which
conference/OS release.)

        If you can not get current (I can't get the Service page to load
right now so I am not sure what the current Group is) due to all the normal
reasons,  Check the Private IP RFC(1918) and try using another range like
172.16.x.x instead of your 10.1.x.x  and see if this eliminates the problem.

        Latter,
        JMS....

> Additional note.  I tried the communications trace again, but it was late
so the following information could be a bit dodgy.  I let it format the
packets as pure Ethernet (not IP), and I saw one entry in the trace.  I
didn't capture it (I will tonight), but the fields I remember said is was
an"802.3" packet, type "TEST".  That was the only packet to go out on the
line.  When I formatted the trace as type IP, I got no results at all.
