- Hello,
-
- I have a couple of problems that have come up since I have started running
- SLIP at home. I am connecting from my home machine (NeXTstation Color
- running 3.0) to a SLIP capable terminal server using TransSys Dial-Up IP
- Software - version 920904 on my NeXT. Things like telnet, rlogin, finger,
- talk, etc. work just fine. First problem, when I log into another NeXT
- and try to -NXHost to my home machine I see the modem lights flash a few
- times and then get the message:
-
- DPS client library error: Could not form connection, host home
-
- for no apparent reason ( i have public windower server set). Second
- problem, I had a uucp link set up that worked just fine via a modem.
- Having SLIP, I decided to switch the uucp link to TCP. When I issue the
- command uucico -r1 -x9 -sacus1 I get the messages:
-
- finds (acus1) called
- getto: call no. acus1.cc.uky.edu for sys acus1
- Using TCP to call
- bsdtcpopn host acus1.cc.uky.edu, port 540
- TCP CLOSE called
- closed fd 5
- tcpopen failed: errno 61
- root acus1 (12/30-23:05-287) FAILED (Connection refused)
- root acus1 (12/30-23:05-287) FAILED (call to acus1 )
-
- Noticing errno 61 I tried to telnet straight to port 540 and sure enough
- my connection was refused...I checked and I can telnet to port 540 on
- most other Unix machines but anytime I go to a NeXT the connection is
- refused.
-
- Any information on how to "fix" these two problems would be greatly
- appreciated.
-
- Thanks,
