If there is a routed network between - you may have issues with your 172..29
, as it is in the RFC 1918 nonroutable address range.
From the RFC:
3. Private Address Space
The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has reserved the
Following three blocks of the IP address space for private internets:
10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 (10/8 prefix)
172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 (172.16/12 prefix)
192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 (192.168/16 prefix)
Secondly - if that's okay - then is there a firewall between them blocking
the port? You say you telneted, what you do not say is that you telneted to
the Xymon server on port 1984 - try it.
Try starting the client with the fully qualified name : runclient.sh
--hostname="host.net.domain"
Long as the scripts you use on the client are not hardcoded to the hostname
(such as uname -n), things should work.
Once it talks, you may have to adjust the bb-hosts entry to make it appear -
check for ghosts then.
Other than that - tcpdump is a useful tool on the client (wireshark on Linux
works nicely too) Capture your port 1984 traffic and see what its really
doing.
