6056.0. "can't see my NIS???" by DPDMAI::GALVIN (Ok Winnie, it'll just fall off again...) Sat Jul 23 1994 12:51

    	NIS 500/600 Access
    
    I've posted a similar question before but I thought I'd repost.
    
    I'm trying to get to an NIS500 or NIS600 using MCC BMSV1.3, VMSV6.0,
    DECnet Phase IV.  In using the NODE icon, I only have to use the
    ethernet address, correct?
    
    I keep getting an error message (I'm at home)... doesn't recognize
    the format?  Or something like that.  We moved from one site to another
    and I had deregistered this NIS from one domain.  
    
    In using FCL I can still see it in my database. In the past, I added
    and then deleted an entity and was able to get by similar problems...
    Anyone have a slick way to get to an NIS???
    
    Also, is a WANrouter500 added as a 'NODE'???  Thanks in advance.

No, you have to specify the Phase IV name as synonym, e.g.

MCC> register node .mydir.hugo synonym hugo

If you deleted it from your domain, just add it. It's still registered.

If you see it in FCL (e.g. with MCC> dir node *) just do a
'show node <it's name>'. If this works, you have access.

Yes, because it talks DNA-CMIP.
