This error is the result of an application trying to connect to the RV daemon and indicates that Rendezvous was not able to initialize a session correctly. This is because the "network" parameter specified for that session may be incorrect.

The following may cause this error:

1). Incorrect multicast address. Valid multicast ranges are from “224.0.0.1” to “239.255.255.254”.

2).  Incorrect syntax of network parameter.
    
Examples of correct and incorrect usage:

     -network “10.20.30.40” (correct - surrounded with double quotation marks)
     -network 10.20.30.40     (correct)
     -network ‘10.20.30.40’  (incorrect - surrounded with single quotation marks)
     -network “;224.2.2.7 ”       (incorrect - a space follows the multicast address)


3).  Resolving host name/network name incorrectly.

Applications can specify the network parameter with host name/network name. If the transport creation can not resolve the host name/network name, the error will be reported. The “ping” command can be used to determine whether the host name/network name is correct.

4). Changes in network software configuration or hardware, e.g, NIC switch, without restarting the RV daemon. RVD/RVRD obtains host configuration information upon start up. Any changes to the configuration requires that the daemon be stopped and restarted.

5). If using the network address/number as the network parameter, make sure it is correct. The network address is calculated with the IP address and subnet mask. On Unix platforms this can be obtained with the iniftst tool.
