- Does anyone know what the function of the "hostname" program in amitcp is?
-
- (Amitcp 4.0 demo, in bin/hostname)
-
- My startnet script seems to hang occasionally at the line:
-
- setenv HOSTNAME `AmiTCP:bin/hostname`
-
- It simply sits there doing nothing. WHen it eventually times out, I can't
- do anything like "ping" my server, etc.
-
- My startnet script hasn't changed at all, and I usually get a PPP connection
- without problems, but I'm currently having a hell of a time with a connection
- with my ISP. Logging in with my Mac emulation using Mac sys 7.5 and MacPPP
- works flawlessly during the same time the Amiga won't log in.
-
- Ideas??
-
- - Steve.
