2057.0. "HUBwatch not starting" by GIDDAY::CHONG (Andrew Chong - Sydney CSC ) Tue Feb 28 1995 10:26

PC with DEPCA card, 16MB memory. WAs running V1.0 of Hubwatch.
Now after upgrading to Hubwatch V3.1  it doesn't startup , although
there was no errors during the installation. 

The symptom is this: Doubleclick on the hubwatch icon, the hour glass
comes up for a second or 2 and then nothing happens - no agent template
appears for filling in the agent name/address. No error messages 
either. 

Ping to the agent works fine .
We have tried to cut down autoexec.bat, config.sys and protocol.ini
to a minimum. It did not make any difference. 
There is about 420kb of conventional memory left after windows application
starts up. 

I am at a lost as to what might be wrong. 

Any hints will be greatly appreciated.

	What IP Stack are you running?

	What exactly did you do to upgrade... select HUBwatch with
	  the network or HUBwatch only?
	What is exactly not working???????????

	Check the enviroment variables in c:\AUTOEXEC.BAT:

>	What IP Stack are you running?

	The one that comes with hubwatch

>	Are you running Windows 3.1 or Windows for Workgroups 3.11? 

	Windows 3.1

	Hubwatch with network

>	What is exactly not working???????????

	Like I said, double click on hubwatch icon, hour glass comes up 
	for a second or 2 and then back to the mouse pointer. Nothing 
	happened.
	It is suppose to bring up a window (Specify Agent window) for
	you to fill in the IP Address/Agent Name. But it did not
	happen. It is not hung or anything . You can still use windows.

	The variables were set as above . Reboot was done many times. 
	This is actually a problem experienced by a customer. I have asked 
	him to try installing it on another PC and he said the same problem
	is experienced on the other PC.

2057.3Another DBLSPACE horror story?NETCAD::WAGNERCOFFILThu Mar 02 1995 14:1321
	I notice you are using DBLSPACE in CONFIG.SYS.
	I have heard many horror stories using DBLSPACE, 
	can you install HUBwatch V3.1 on a PC WITHOUT DBLSPACE?
	
	At a MS-DOS Prompt box, type HUBWATCH at the DOS command line.
	You should get "This program requires Microsoft Windows."

	Check HUBWATCH.EXE 10-10-94 2,327,680
	
	What version of DOS?
	
	Are you getting the HUBwatch main Window with background or just
	an hourglass and then nothing? Any HUBwatch Window controls
	at all?

	As a side note(this has nothing to do with the problem),
	in PWTCP.INI you should change the [DNR] section Domain
	and NameServer0 = 0. Also, FILES in CONFIG.SYS is a bit high.

Barb, 

I have asked the customer to install it on a PC without DBLSPACE. Will keep
you posted. He is using DOS V6.2.


Just as a matter of interest , Has anyone run Hubwatch successfully with
DBLSPACE enabled ? The customer said he ran V1.0 of HuBwatch with DBLSPACE
with no problems.

2057.5I'm DBLSPACED & HUBwatchedSOUPER::COOPERRon CooperSat Mar 04 1995 11:535
    I'm running DOS v6.22, DBLSPACE (left over from the 6.2 kit), and
    HUBwatch V3.1 on a DECpc 425SL.  I only have 8MB of memory on this
    beast so performance is not crisp with a loaded hub but I'm not having
    problems with hubwatch starting.  I am using a XIRCOM credit card
    adapter and the HUBwatch IP stack.
2057.6still not working ....GIDDAY::CHONGAndrew Chong - Sydney CSC Wed Mar 08 1995 20:3012
Barb, 

The customer is still having the same problem without dblspace. 

Thnaks for all those that replied to share their experience with dblspace and 
Hubwatch and those that mailed in. 

Not sure where to go from here. I am sending someone from the local branch 
to go onsite to check it out. 

regards,
andrew
