[Omowonuola saka]

Hello Everyone,


I am an ns2 newbee and I am trying to create a wireless cum wired scenario to 
test a service discovery protocol (SLP). I have done it just like the 
examplethat comes in the tcl/ex folder in ns2 but i keep geting the error below. 
I will appreciate any help i can get as i am running behind schedule in my 
dissertation.


The error is :

"num_nodes is set 8
warning: Please use -channel as shown in tcl/ex/wireless-mitf.tcl
INITIALIZE THE LIST xListHead
Error!!
str2addr:Address 144425951 outside range of address field length 1024"

I have looked at heirachical addressing in the ns manual but i dont see anything 
i  am doing wrong. I will very mych appreciate any help. Thanks in advance
