hi again: 

thanks very much to everyone who has been writing with suggestions on
making my new coda server work with remote clients. no success with any
of the suggestions so far, but i have another question (sorry!).

the coda server is running on a machine with two ethernet interfaces.
venus client connections coming from the internal, 10.0.0.x network on
eth0 work great, i've connected to it via a couple of local-net client
machines now.

remote venus client connections coming in from the outside world through
the second ethernet interface eth1 can see the coda server OK (cmon
servername:100 looks good) but never get hooked up. have watched venus
fail on several remote client machines that otherwise talk just fine to
the testserver.coda.cs.cmu.edu machine.

does this ring a bell for any coda gurus out there? is some part of the
coda server or related services only interested in eth0?

i had a look on the coda FTP site for the rpc2-literate tcpdump, but the
/pub/tools/ location where this is reputed to live (mentioned in
codalist archives) doesn't seem to be available. 

thanks very kindly if anyone out there has further suggestions -- i'd
really like to get this coda server talking with the outside world!
