Hi, after installation I cannot install licence. secictrl -n returns always server code 00000000 what, I think, is reason to this.
On eth0 is wifi, and on eth1 there is cable adapter which I use.
I use gentoo linux 2.6.23-gentoo-r8, Houdini build - 9.1.164. This print is for 9.1.124, but now, on 9.1.164, there is the same problem.

indeed the issue is the fact that the server code is zero.
currently, the server code is computed based on the MAC address, and that information is collected with the if_nameindex() function call. The MAC address of the first non-loopback network interface is used for the server code.
It is hard to say what exactly is failing… you may try playing around with the network configuration, perhaps trying to get the cable connector to be eth0 and wireless to be eth1. Also you may try disable wireless and see if that gets your server code back.
the if_nameindex() is as standard C library function. You can read more about it in the manual pages (“man if_nameindex” in the shell). This is really a system API function used in source code, but I think it reports the same interfaces as the command line utility “ifconfig”. What does “ifconfig -a” print on your machine?
yes, indeed, it looks like the server code is computed based on the sit0 interface, which probably does not have a MAC address, and therefore the server code is zero.
I don't know what this device is, either. Hmm, and I am not sure how this list is sorted. Whether there is any config file or they are all in order of their load sequence. Let me ask around..
From what I understand “sit0” is a pseudo device that acts as a bridge between ipv4 and ipv6.
Here's a simple thing to try. Turn off the computer and then unplug it. Wait a few minutes to let the residual charge drain off and then turn the computer back on. The Wake-on-Lan function may not be releasing your NIC.
If that doesn't work;
Take a look at the “ifup” command.
run “ifup -help” to see the functions.
You are likely looking to do something like this, provided you are running dhcp. “ifup eth0 ”
You can do a test run of this without actually changing anything with a “-n” at the end, like this. “ifup eth0 -n”
Any sys. admins out there look at this and make sure I'm not misdirecting?
“gravity is not a force, it is a boundary layer” “everything is coincident” “Love; the state of suspended anticipation.”
i have talked to my colleague and he just committed a fix for this bug. You can download and install tomorrow's Houdini daily build, which will be, I think, 9.1.165 (you can obtain it from the download page once you log in to the download services in Support > Download on this website. The daily builds section is just below production builds)
Meanwhile, if you don't need the IPv6 over IPv4, he suggested to run ‘rmmod sit’ to remove this interface.
