If your machines are on the same subnet with the same subnetmask and without a firewall they should connect up without your having to set EPICS_CA_ADDR_LIST. By default Channel Access uses both TCP and UDP traffic on ports 5064 and 5065, so if you have a firewall between them you need to open up those ports. However that won't be sufficient if you start running multiple CA servers on the machine inside the firewall (at that point you'll have to turn off the firewall because the second server will bind to a random TCP socket number). It is possible to use CA across subnets, but you have to understand how it works and configure things properly - see the Channel Access reference manual for all the details if/when you need to do that. I have a version of StripTool, alh, medm, and probe that all seem to work OK on the NetBSD machine, but right now I can't access data on the Linux machine because the NetBSD machine is currently connected outside the firewall that protects the Linux machine. I'll move the NetBSD machine inside the firewall tomorrow and do more testing. It sounds like the firewall is the source of your problem at this point. - Andrew -- There is considerable overlap between the intelligence of the smartest bears and the dumbest tourists -- Yosemite National Park Ranger
