I have a pair of 3B2/400s running SV R3.1, StarLAN-1 and RFS. I also
have a 386 running SV/386 R3.2.2 (includes Network Support Utilities
and RFS, both release 1.2 version 2.0) and StarGroup 3.2 (to a bunch
of MSDOS clients).
Each network works well. So I administered the 3B2 (mccc) that's the
primary server for its network to include the 386 (tech) and set up
RFS. Next I connected the cable between an IN on one NAU and an OUT
on the other, and rebooted all three computers. The 3B2s come up
normally, but I get the following message from the 386:
rfstart: could not contact primary name server
rfstart: No reply from domain name server
I have swapped cables and manually checked out all configuration
files, and everything seems to be OK (well, I know that the cables are
OK).
[...]
The 3B2 and the 386 have identical Devices and Systems entries:
STARLAN,eg starlan - - TLIS \D
mccc Any STARLAN - mccc in:--in: nuucp
Help!
Though I don't have the same hardware config you do (mine are 3B1), I solved a
similar problem when I first brought StarLAN up on my systems. I've extracted
the relevant portions of several files listed below in the hope this can serve
you as a model for the changes required on your systems.
Please note the entries in Dialers matching entries in Devices; this "may" be
the solution in your case (it's been a while since I've done this and my docs
aren't handy).
