I've configured it that way and neither of the www pages have any information
(concerning these hosts). I do know that 1984 is "connectable"
from the new Hobbit server (tested with nmap).<br>
<br>
Any other ideas out there? From what little I know about this it seems
like this Net option is just an extra step, it doesn't seem required - is this
true? What is the simplest way of getting the list of hosts on both
bbdisplays? <br>

This may not be useful in the setup you're trying to get working, but it can't
hurt to include. I think your original config is the one to go with, but
I might go with <a href="http://127.0.0.1" target="_blank">127.0.0.1</a> and no
spaces. I'm pretty sure the BBDISPLAYS just has bbtest-net send it to
everything in that list when it has a status message. Also note that port
1984 will have to be opened appropriately on any firewalls.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>What I am
trying to do is have two BBDisplay servers. The first one being our main
one - monitors our network equipment and things - and a second one that lives
on the customer's network and pings APs, Switches, etc.<br>
<br>
I have setup this in bb-hosts on the main one:<br>
<br clear=all>
page HIXX Holiday Inn X X<br>
group-compress <H3><I>Access Points</I></H3><br>
<a href="http://1.2.3.4" target="_blank">1.2.3.4</a> <a href="http://host.com"
target="_blank">host.com</a> # noconn <br>
<br>
group-compress <H3><I>HIDM Hardware</I></H3><br>
<a href="http://2.3.4.5" target="_blank">2.3.4.5</a> <a href="http://host2.com"
target="_blank">host2.com</a> # noconn <br>
<br>
Reason for the noconn is that these are all private IPs, accessible only by the
customer's LAN. These configuration match those of the customer's
bb-hosts (with the exception of noconn, of course =)<br>
<br>
I then went into the customer's server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg and changed it as
such:<br>
<br>
BBDISP="<a href="http://0.0.0.0" target="_blank"> 0.0.0.0</a>"<br>
BBDISPLAYS=" <a href="http://10.59.1.119" target="_blank">10.59.1.119</a>,MAINSERVERPUBLIC"<br>
<br>
I have also tried it without quotes<br>
<br>
When I set this neither BBDisplay has anything on the www pages, they're
completely blank! Once I switch it to <br>
<br>
BBDISP="$BBSERVERIP"
# IP of a single hobbit/bbd server<br>
BBDISPLAYS=""<br>
<br>
It works perfectly fine on the customer's server, but the main one is display
blank (obviously =)<br>
<br>
Please let me know where I went wrong. Thanks in advance!<br>
