2983.0. "Cannot register PhaseV nodes" by RDGENG::PRATT () Tue May 12 1992 14:39

Running Ultrix T1.2.7 DNU T5.1-5

When trying to register phaseV routers (either DECnis's or WANrouters) I get the
following failure...

# manage
DECmcc (T1.2.7)

MCC> register node .reo.reotn1 synonym reotn1

As you can see, I can access the router from NCL without any problems. It 
doesn't apply to all my phaseV routers as I have been able to register some
successfully, but once in this state I have never been able to properly register
the node in question. I also had this problem with T1.2.4.

I can register the same nodes successfully using the VMS MCC.

Any ideas?

    I'll try to take a look at this sometime tomorrow.
