connection refused - routing problem?

Hi,

Hoping someone can help with this problem.

socket: Connection refused

Interstingly, when I can proc/net/decnet at the same time it goes from:

Remote  Source Remote Object Link    Data  Packets Link  Packets
Node    Port   Port   Number State   Out     In    Out     In

   0.0  0000   0000          OPEN      1      0      1      0
   0.0  0000   0000       29 OPEN      1      0      1      0

to:

I am running Linux 2.2.14 with dnk2214.tgz patch and dnprogs-2.05.tar.gz. The
machine has two network cards:

eth0 a 3com Boomerang 3c905 which is assigned a tcpip address
eth1 a DEC DC21142 (rev 48) based card (EtherExpress?)

I have tried:

[1] putting eth1 in to promiscuous mode - no good.
[2] running tcpdump -ieth0 decnet produces:

tcpdump: SIOCGIFADDR: eth1: Cannot assign requested address

[3] running tcpdump -ieth0 decnet does show messages such as:

12:50:10.201726 endnode-hello endnode vers 2 eco 0 ueco 0 src 26.516 blksize
55813 rtr 0.0 hello 0 data 0
12:50:11.072250 endnode-hello endnode vers 2 eco 0 ueco 0 src 26.4 blksize
55813 rtr 0.0 hello 0 data 0

Do I need iproute2?

If so, can anyone suggest what I do with iproute2 to get this working. I cannot
easily use the eth0 network card.

Thanks

Martin
