OK, yes, that must be it.  The DNS server won't be changed until Monday (and I do not have access to it).  I'll put testip on that entry temporarily.

Thanks.

Sun Oct 23 10:33:00 2005 conn NOT ok

Service conn on hobbit1 is not OK : Host does not respond to ping


System unreachable for 13 poll periods (3623 seconds)

red 172.17.0.13 is unreachable

172.17.0.13 is the old address, the new address is 172.17.1.50.  In bb-hosts I have:

172.17.1.50   hobbit1      # BBDISPLAY BBPAGER BBNET bbd http://hobbit1/

Hobbit does a name loookup by default (DNS and the local hosts file). Perhaps it picks up the old IP address from /etc/hosts ?
