Sorry Jan, i think was wrong with my Port binding assumtion, and
everybody excuse me for sending this long mail with LOG files to a mailing
list ... :)

My Problem sounds more like the one describeda by Greg:
if I put on node on the first NIC (eth0) everything is fine. if i just
change the cable and put the same node on eth1 - venus tells me that the
server is down - and exits.

tcpdump reveals that communication is done - in both directions - in both
cases...

With turned on debugging, The venus logs on are identically until

on the machine it works :
[ W(14) : 0000 : 17:01:29 ] userent::Connect: RPC2_NewBinding(81ce7777)
[ W(14) : 0000 : 17:01:29 ] userent::Connect: RPC2_NewBinding ->
RPC2_SUCCESS
[ W(14) : 0000 : 17:01:29 ] userent::Connect: NewConnectFS(81ce7777)

on the machine that doesnt work :

[ W(14) : 0000 : 16:51:45 ] userent::Connect: RPC2_NewBinding -> 
RPC2_NOBINDING (F)
[ W(14) : 0000 : 16:51:45 ] srvent::Reset: host = 81ce7777
[ W(14) : 0000 : 16:51:45 ] srvent::Reset: RPC2_Unbind ->
RPC2_NOCONNECTION (F)
[ W(14) : 0000 : 16:51:45 ] vsgdb::DownEvent: host = 81ce7777
[ W(14) : 0000 : 16:51:45 ] vsr::~vsr: uid = 0
[ W(14) : 0000 : 16:51:45 ] NotifyUserOfServerDownEvent
...
[ W(14) : 0000 : 16:51:45 ] Getattr : returns Connection timed out,
elapsed = 1.
0 msec
[ X(00) : 0000 : 16:51:45 ] CHILD: mount system call failed. Killing
parent.


I will later try to put the RPC2 into debugging mode, parse some
tcpdumps, and or try to locate this Problem  - if I get more Information
I will report.

Greg : How did you solve that Problem? Did you ?
