Hi,

I have problem with my netmon. It doesn't see any changes in nodes' status. 
I set up netmon tracing with -M 3 mask and looked at netmon.trace. This is
what I can see:

13:29:32 :sending ping to 150.254.212.99 seqnum = 15108 ident = 12588
timeout = 2
13:29:32 :sending ping to 150.254.212.100 seqnum = 15109 ident = 12588
timeout = 2
13:29:32 :sending ping to 150.254.212.57 seqnum = 15110 ident = 12588
timeout = 2
13:29:32 :sending ping to 150.254.212.97 seqnum = 15111 ident = 12588
timeout = 2
13:29:32 :sending ping to 150.254.163.8 seqnum = 15112 ident = 12588
timeout = 2
13:29:32 :sending ping to 150.254.210.165 seqnum = 15113 ident = 12588
timeout = 2
13:29:32 :sending ping to 212.126.29.225 seqnum = 15114 ident = 12588
timeout = 2

13:29:38 :-> unexpected ICMP message 3 from 150.254.212.99

In spite of I have tens of hosts managed only a few of them (not more then
20) are properly resolved (I mean a host name appears in brackets in
"received ping..." command) in a trace. When I enter #host ip_adress the
above addresses are resolved properly.

What does it mean :-> unexpected ICMP message 3 from ?

In fact netmon detects only a status change in those selected <>20 nodes.
Nothing more! It seems that something is wrong with pinging...

Any advice where to look for a solution?

I have NetView 4.1 AIX 4.2.1

Thanks in advance.
Regards,
