  • Did you enter the correct ARPA domain name, IP address, or NS node name? See your network administrator.

  • Check with your network administrator to find out the following:

    • Does the remote host system support Telnet?

    • Is the network link active on the remote host system?

    • If an NS node name was used, make sure it is correctly entered in the local network directory, or that the remote host supports Probe, or has local Probe proxy answering for it.

    • If an ARPA domain name was used, make sure the name is configured in the local HOSTS.NET.SYS file, or that the configured domain name server is responding correctly. If not, use the IP address.

    • Use the PING test of NETTOOL to verify the remote system is responding on the network.

      NETTOOL is documented in the NS 3000/iX Operations and Maintenance Reference Manual.

    • If the remote system is an HP 3000 or HP 9000, verify that inetd is running, and that Telnet is configured in the inetd and SERVICES configuration file. Also verify that the server software is installed in the remote system; refer to Configuring and Managing MPE/iX Internet Services manual.
