Hi,

I have now the two VAX6450s with CIBCA and connected through the
star coupler. I was eager to see them talk IP through the CI
but unfortunately it doesn't work. I'm under Ultrix 4.5 and I
use

ifconfig scs0 inet 192.168.17.1 netmask 255.255.255.0

on the one machine and

ifconfig scs0 inet 192.168.17.2 netmask 255.255.255.0

on the other machine. If I check the status with just

ifconfig scs0

It says it's up and fine. But ping self doesn't work and ping
each other doesn't work either. From reading the scs man
page, it mumbles something about host numbers having to be
between 1 and 15. But I have no clue what they mean. I don't
know my CI node numbers either. I'm wondering if I should
know those and configure them somehow. I also wonder if this
SCS IP has some arp? Would be really cool to have tcpdump
for Ultrix. What's the best way to step by step get a CI
system debugged?

thanks,
-Gunther
