-
- Let's see ....
-
- In my startnet file I have:
-
- IPDial AmiTCP:Bin/pti.logon << this is my IPDial script
- online devs:networks/ppp.device 0
- echo
- echo login: tbouchar
- AmiTCP:Bin/umask 022
- AmiTCP:AmiTCP
- WaitForPort AMITCP
- AmiTCP:bin/ifconfig lo0 localhost
- AmiTCP:bin/ifconfig ppp0 $ppp0iplocal $ppp0ipremote
- rx "address AMITCP; 'ADD HOST $ppp0iplocal Amiga.ptialaska.net ftp'"
- AmiTCP:bin/route add $ppp0iplocal localhost
- AmiTCP:bin/route add default $ppp0ipremote
- setenv HOSTNAME `AmiTCP:bin/hostname`
- SetEnv HOME AmiTCP:Troy << I set this up myself AmiTCP kept getting
- it wrong for some reason >>
- Assign TCP: Exists > NIL:
- IF Warn
- Mount TCP: from AmiTCP:devs/Inet-MountList
- EndIf
- run AmiTCP:bin/inetd
-
- Just make sure that you have the $ppp0iplocal and $ppp0ipremote spelled right
- or you'll just sit there looking for something to happen in the next 40 hours
- (yes...it happened to me) BTW - I called this 'startnet.ppp' and made it a
- executable script file so I can call it from anywhere in the system (of
- course make sure your path is set :))
-
- Tell me what happens. Please EMail me with your results and or questions
- I go up on the net using PPP everyday - I need it for Work and Play with
- it at home (yes that is the definition of a GEEK) ....
