6079.0. "Can't register, address in use" by EDUOZ::BOERS (Jack - singed by the candlestick!) Fri Aug 12 1994 02:08

    I am running MCC on a 4000 model 90, running 5.5-2 OpenVMS.  I am using
    DNS.  When I attempt to register a concentrator, when I put in the
    ethernet address, I get the error stating that this address is already
    in use by another entity.  I only have about a dozen entities
    registered, and none of them use this address.
    
    Can anyone please tell me how I can find out what entity MCC/DNS thinks
    is using this address, and if it is not actually in use, how can I
    convince MCC/DNS to allow me to register my Concentrator.
    
    Kind regards

Before you go romping around in dns$control, did you try this:

mcc> show station <problem-address-here> all ident
mcc> show bridge <problem-address-here> all ident
mcc> show concentrator <problem-address-here> all ident

etc.

    I tried those commands, and all I got back was that the address was
    there.  There was no further information.  It recognised a concentrator
    with the relevant address.  I can only assume that it went and talked
    to it to get the response.
    
    Any further assistance greatly appreciated, as I can't get the entity
    registered at all

6079.3Solved by munging DNSEDUOZ::BOERSJack - singed by the candlestick!Wed Aug 17 1994 21:198
    Just in case anyone else gets this, my trouble shooting revealed that
    even though the concentrator had been removed from DNS, there was still
    a link to the MCC_COLLECTOR_BACKtranslation directory.  Having removed
    the soft link enabled me to register the node correctly.  What a
    crock!!
