Hello all - We got back to back DTCs working so we can have remote access to one of our hp3000 consoles (Thanks Lars). However that is only when both DTCs are in the same subnet (I'll call it the home subnet). We moved an 3000 a couple of routers away (one router and an ATM switch) and can't seem to get this to work. Bridging is turned on since there is DTC traffic from this subnet back to the home subnet. I did some LAN sniffing on the home subnet where the calling DTC is and found out that it seems that the DTC uses both a layer 2 LLC frame (which should bridge) and an UDP/IP broadcast packet (which *won't* route) to find the other DTC. I suspect that this is the problem. Also, a couple of packets later the calling DTC does an ARP Reply back to the called DTC. I don't see an ARP request which is how I think this should work. I only traced the two MAC addresses of the DTCs in this case where things worked so I should have seen any ARP request packets between either DTCs. I'll shut up now and see if anyone has any ideas. I saw Bill Bennett's message and I don't want to try that option in this case since there is only one HP3000 at the remote end that we need to connect to the console port.
