  failure on the back translate address request? 
 The Question is:
 
My OS is Open VMS 7.1-1H2.
 
I recently put an HP ProCurve 2626 Switch into my network. Since then the Alpha
 console gives me a Network Login failure:"failure on the back translate
 address request" - when I try to import some information from another server.
 This process has worked f
or years.
 
Is there a setting I can change on the Alpha to accomodate the
 %IPC-E-BCKTRNSFAIL?
 
 
 The Answer is :
 
  Please see the discussion of the BCKTRNSFAIL back-translation errors
  in the OpenVMS FAQ.  The specific FAQ section of interest is:
 
    What does "failure on back translate address request" mean?
 
  Please also upgrade from this version of OpenVMS Alpha to a more
  recent version, preferably to a more recent and supported version.
