1392.0. "DEC2300.DEFEA FDDI,V5.0a & DECnet NoGo" by FSSB::JOHNSON () Fri Jul 08 1994 10:24


	A customer of mine has been trying to get a DEC 2000/300 to
	work with Pathworks for OVMS v5.0a.
	The server is configured with a DEFEA FDDI board and setup to
	run both DECnet and NETBEUI in standalone domain mode.
	The PC's sits on ethernet, and gets their licenses loaded OK 
	from another V5 server. 

	A PW V4 client running DECnet trying to connect to PWV50 share 
	gets a "Server not listening" error.

	A PW V5 client running DECnet trying to connect to PWV50 share
        gets a "Network path not found" error.

	A PW V5 client running NETBEUI gets connected OK.

	DECnet on the server works perfectly well as is, e.g. file copies 
	etc., and there are no NCP error counters. The Ethernet/FDDI bridge 
	between the server and the PC does not filter out any protocols.

	When we moved the server to a private thinwire Ethernet segment 
	along with a PC, everything worked OK, indicating that there's 
	something wrong with the DEFEA FDDI I/F?
	Is there something obvious with the setup we have missed here, or
	are there problems with the DEFEA board?

	Grateful for some help.
	
	Mats J.
