Version 5.1.25
windows xp client
windows 2k server

I'm having an issue getting a new client to connect.  I believe I upgraded the license server correctly and all that jaz.  I have read through 99% of these topics and didn't find anything to help me with my situation.

When I tried to connect via telnet I get a time out and when I check the ssh box I get a pop up msg stating that "new telnet failed"  I can't find anything that points me in any directions.  Could someone give me a hand. It would be much appreciated.

also the old clients that were running can not connect now either.

Thanks

Nic

after looking agian at it.

the install errors I get are none things look fine.
I was mistaken about the time out thing.   no matter which I try and connect with I get the net telnet failed pop up.

This is a fresh install of the client on the xp machine under.  I also installed it on a 2k machine and gets the same errors.

[Bob]

What version of windows?
Can you connect with windows telnet??
Try changing the port to 23 (type it into the port box). Don't use ssh unless you have an sshd daemon on your server.

Are you saying clients with versions older than 5.1.25 cannot connect either?? That would point to a network problem.

[nic]

I'm trying to run it on an xp and 2k neither works.  Yeah older ones do not talk to it that once did. and i cannot get any connectivity with it. I can not telnet to it, I can not ping it.  The nic is plugged in and the light is on the nic (green)  It's not used too much and there has been some power issues.  Perhaps the nic went south?  I'm trying to take a look at the traffic on the network from it and I don't see anything at all.  Also I'm seeing that only two of the 3 hdds in it have green lights. It's an old compact proliant 1500.  I'm going to check out what it looks like with a monitor hooked up to it.

Thanks for the help.

[nic]

HAHA, it was more than just a network issue.  It was a couple issue such as incorrect documentation for it.  and the fact that the OS didn't boot all the way b/c it needed user interaction b/c of the the hdd problem.  Users can now get into it.  I just need to now get the printing issues figured out.  Things have change so much since the days of this behemath.

Thanks agian for your help if you can point me in a direction of some good printer FAQs or posts that would be great..

[Bob]

There are many possible methods of printing with unix in combination with ICE. Which are you using?

You could be getting printouts on the unix spooled printer or
Via pass through printing to Pro and a windows printer or
Via LPR/LPD to a networked printer from the unix machine or
Via Icelp to a windows printer or
some combination of the above.

[nic]

Uhmm I'm really not sure because this is the first time I have worked with ICE.TCP.  I would like to use the easiest to set up and for the user to interact with.  So any recommandation would be of great help. thanks.  You know what your doing with it a whole lot more than I do.  

[Bob]

Well it depends on what application you are running on the unix machine, what kind of printing it supports and where you want to get it to print.

[nic]

Uhmm well there are really only two users that are using the system right now. And it's a sco openserver 5.  It's a really really really old box that doesn't have some of the nice new features like tab complete and stuff.  It's some sort of medical thing.  but they just print to one of two printers at x.x.x.44 or x.x.x.36.  I'm not sure how the preconfigured client is working, but she's out to lunch right now.  I'll check her's out.

Thanks agian.

[nic]

Well I just looked at the other one and well she couldn't really printer either. the only thing that she could print was the screen from going File->print then selecting the printer.

It looks like the application is trying to use LPR to print straight to the printers.  I hope this helps.  Thanks so much.

[Bob]

What kind of things does the application print? reports, etc??
Was it printing before and then stopped working or are you trying
to get printing going for the first time??

Is the app: Medical Manager??

On the SCO box you can check the configured printers (the spooled ones anyway) by doing an

lpstat -t

Post back the results. BTW, you can get a better shell for SCO, called bash. It's just like the linux version.

the openserver stuff is at:

[nic]

Well they need to print reports.
Yes it is Med Manager.

I just hate Old OSes.

[Bob]

Yow, that machine has a LOT of defined printers!

We are going to need to find out how they are SUPPOSED to be printing. Check to see if icelp is running on the client PC(s). If it is, check the printing configuration in the active profile. If it isn't, I assume MM is using pass-thru printing. Is there any way you can find out the printing configuration of  MM?? We are pretty much working in the dark without it.

[nic]

Yeah I can found out what the print config is.  I think. I got admin access :-D.
I don't see a icelp running on the client.  BUT this is the first time in like 6 years they needed to print something besides a screen.

See why I'm having a bit of an issue with the printer stuff.  And the sad part of it is that they are all set to some old network that was using public IP's in a private network that we switched from a long time ago.

I'm more fermilar with BSD than SCO and SCO more than MM.

Thanks for all your help.  It means a lot.
