Very Computer

have tried various ways of telnet-ing:

in run box, enter "telnet", click "ok"; in
telnet box, click connect, click "remote system";
in connect box: in host-name, enter 127.0.0.1; in port,
enter "telnet"; in terminal, enter "vt52";
click "connect"

in run box, enter "telnet localhost",
click "ok"

and others.

each time there's simply no logon prompt.

services in control panel shows both
d3vme and d3fsi with status as "started"
and "startup" as "automatic"; in the "log
on as" box, both have a bullet in "system acct"
and a check mark in "allow service to interact
with desktop".

when i log on to windows nt, i do so as
administrator.

looking at d3 nt settings in d3 device mgr,
the "network and mds config" box has the right
computer name and the only round hole (radio
button?) with a bullet is "standalone or
peer-to-peer server"

opening command prompt window and
'ping'-ing gets "it's alive" responses
for both d3vme and d3fsi.

i would sure appreciate some clues that
would help me solve this mystery!

Take a look at the D3/NT 7.1.4 Installation Notes. At the bottom of page 12 it
starts out:
------------------------------------------------------------------
Virtual Machine Environment Does Not Start
While logging on to the VME, if Telnet connects but does not issue a D3 logon
message when pressing a key, the VME boot probably aborted due to an overflow
problem, a corrupted disk image or some other Virtual problem.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Try changing the d3vme service to manual, reboot windows, and then start d3
using the /debug option. Then follow the installation notes for possible fixes.

BTW, you don't really have both D3VME and D3FSI in the services window, do you?
I only have D3ODBC and D3VME. I usually leave D3ODBC set to manual unless I'm
using odbc.

i thought i had posted this a day or 2 ago, but it doesn't seem
to have survived to make it as far as the newsgroup.  if it turns
out to be a duplicate, i apologise.

Yes, I believe you do need TCP/IP to use "localhost".

Silly questions the sequel

1)  Have you tried pressing <CR> in the Telnet window, or do you get an egg
timer followed by a "can't connect" type messge?  If it's "can't connect"
then check number 2 below

2) In D3 Device Manager > D3 NT Settings > Telnet Mode Selection, make sure
the "Check to disable Telnet Server" is un-checked and make sure "Use Telnet
Port" is set to 23.

3) As mentioned elsewhere, in Services, stop the D3Vme service, then run
"d:\program files\d3\d3programs\d3vme" /debug

You may want to check the Event Viewer in NT to see if anything shows up
there.
