On the network is Cisco router that works like DECnet router. When I try to ping this router via dnping I receive following response "socket: Connection refused". I sniffered network communication and investigated that the CentOS server sent "connect confirm/initiate message" to the router but the router responded with "disconnect initiate/confirm message" with reason: "The destination end user does not exist". Does anybody know what is wrong? This communication was working but unreasonably stopped.

That message means that the remote end  isn't running a MIRROR object. 
dnping isn't a ping in the same low-level sense that an IP ping is. It 
needs a listening process at the other end to respond to it.
