Hi Heather, Well, the latest test that I could conceive of to get things working on npingest failed. I am sorry to say that I am completely out of ideas. If I were in your position, I would reload the OS on npingest and not try to migrate over any configurations that were in place from your previous NOAAPort ingest instance. The procedure I would follow is: - load a fresh instance of CentOS As I said in a previous email, it will be up to you if you load CentOS 7.x or 6.10 as both _should_ work fine. - create an 'ldm' account Download, build and install the latest LDM release. As you found out, you may need to load in some packages that will be needed to build the LDM. - after the LDM v6.13.7 is built and installed, I would first: - configure the firewall on the newly built OS to either be completely disabled, or to make sure that all traffic is allowed from the Ethernet interface to which your Novra S300N is connected - immediately after this, I would use 'tcpdump' to see if you see the traffic from the Novra S300N hitting the Ethernet interface NB: if all is well, we do not think you will see the 'bad length' indications in the 'tcpdump' output! <as 'root'> tcpdump -c 20 -i <ethernet interface> If this goes well, only then would I move forward. - setup the multicast routing This does not have to be done before the 'tcpdump' test since 'tcpdump' is looking at the raw device. - setup the kernel parameters for DVBS ingest and ip fragmentation Do this as per our emails, not what you see before reloading an OS! Please let us know what you decide to do! We will contact you if we have a brainstorm overnight!!
