Hello
I am with the Pathworks group. I support the Mac product. I had a
customer yesterday who is having a problem. I do not have a server to
connect to, so I can not test this. The customer problem is as follows:
Customer goes into ATK$MANAGER and does a SHOW GATEWAY KNOWN SESSIONS.
This lists out all the users connected through the Appletalk/DECnet
gateway and gives thier Appletalk address(net number, node number and
socket). My customer then runs interpol to record the Macs on the
network including their Appletalk address. Customer states that nothing
matches. I have tried this with our product, Mail for Macintosh and it
seems to work fine.
My question is does Teamlinks massage the Mac Appletalk address in any
way before or after the connection is made to the server?
I am going to have the customer try and get everyone off and then just
have him make a single connection so we can see what is going on.
Thanks for any thoughts

Is the customer having a TeamLinks problem or just running an exercise to account for socket use? My TeamLinks Mail session is currently connected via AppleTalk/DECnet Gateway; on the server, ATK$MANAGER shows my session using 2 sockets. For each, the network and node numbers match what the AppleTalk control panel shows on my PowerBook. My (OpenVMS) system manager's never heard of interpol. You're not likely to find any expertise in this area from the TeamLinks engineers, other than to say (pray) that "it just works." If you need additional thoughts, your best bet is probably Jeremy or Bob. | |||||

No the customer is not having problems. He is looking for a way to map
the appletalk adress given in ATK$MANAGER to that of the actual Mac.
This is so he can determine whose session he can kill if need be. I do
not have a Mail server to connect to. Interpol is actually a Mac
application which returns information about Appletalk devices on the
network, such as Mac, printers, servers and so forth. Included in this
is the address.
You have answered my question though. The address found in ATK$MANAGER
does match you Macs address. I could not see why Teamlinks would
massage the address.
Thanks. I will let the cusotmer no that we cant reproduce his problem.
He must be overlooking things or there is something else wierd going
on.
Thanks.
