As I mentioned in my previous e-mail I am confused because the same code worked excellence for many time until suddenly start to give this error message even if I tried to connect to any of the network switches I have. I did not change any configuration on my workstation(WinXp)which I run the script from it. Your support is highly appreciated. Thank you. --------8<----------------------- I see this thread quite often, so I guess you're in some dire need to get this working. We understand that it used to work, but there is something that you have overlooked, and are not telling us. Anyway here's what I suggest:- Manually open a Telnet session into every server that you require, copy down all of the different prompts and show us what you have. >From there one of us should be able to write you a m// that would match each and every prompt. If you feel like it, turn dump_log on and see what's coming out.
