3270.0. "Excursion3 NT4" by NNTPD::"Langstaffs@jpc1.uvo.dec.com" (Stephen) Thu Apr 17 1997 17:40

Hello,

I have a customer who had two new NT4 systems. He installed PW32 on 
both the machines and this worked first time. He then installed eXcursion v3
on the machines. On one system this worked first time by simply adding the 
host name etc and all apps work. On the second machine this is not the case. 
When starting up an application it comes back saying remote host is unknown. 
We are able to ping the server and telnet into port 512. Apps can be fired
back from the server to the client without any trouble. We have defined the 
server in the LMHOSTS file and this had no effect. The cust has done a fresh
installation of eXcursion and TCP onto the client but this has not had any
effect.
Has anyone got any ideas ??  I cant undertsand why one machine wont run
eXursion
and the other one will when the machines are configured the same ??

Cheers

Steve

    Can you connect by node number instead of name ?  If so, maybe the name
    lookup params for the system aren't quite right.

    NT provides an rexec client.  Please use it to connect to the remote
    system -- using the system name and using the same username and
    password as you've been trying to do with eXcursion -- and report the
    results here.  (Yes, telnetting into port 512 should tell us something,
    but useing the rexec client might tell us even more.)
