Are TCP return codes specific to particular OS platforms? Or are they universal? I cannot always figure out what they mean.
I'm trying to start a sender from a Unisys mainframe to a Solaris server. The channel is in binding mode and I am suspicious that the firewall puncture was not made. The output is:
Quote:
The return code from the TCP/IP (connect) call was 10016 (X'400').
Yes I can ping, and no I don't know how to telnet from the mainframe to port 1414, and no I'm not going to ask the mainframe guys how to telnet because they will gasp and clutch at their chests.
So I'll ask the firewall guys to confirm that they made the puncture and continue troubleshooting as usual.
But I sure would like to know how to interpret TCP rc 10016. I've searched & googled. There must be an easy way?.....
Usually you can find the symbolic names for TCP errors in /usr/include/sys/errno.h on Unix. _________________ I am *not* the model of the modern major general.
