I apologize for any time you have wasted on bugs in the emulator. We made
several, seemingly small changes to Fishnet over the Christmas break that
were not well tested.
I strongly encourage you to get your code working with the simulator
before even thinking about trying it with the emulator. For the due date
on Friday, it will suffice to get your code working in the simulator.
Email me, Evan, and Harsha immediately if you run into any apparent bugs
in the emulator that have not been reported on the mailing list.
And now, a specific issue. A student reported the following problem with
the emulator:

When you start up the Fishnet nodes in emulation, please try this: Instead
of using "localhost" for the host name, use the actual name or IP address
of the host. (I spent a fair amount of time figuring this out myself.)
Cheers,
Janet
