- Hello Blitter (Dave)
-

- >the install for AmiTCP to just test/run a tcp proggie on localhost only?
-
- I typed the following some time ago for a person on the net which also had
- trouble starting AmiTCP etc. I hope you can use it to set up AmiTCP on a local
- basis.
-
- BTW: This "guide" is meant for AmiTCP-demo-40.lha which you can find on Aminet
- in comm/tcp

- -CHAPTER 3 AmiTCP
- After unpacking the .lha-file start the "Install_AmiTCP" programm. The program
- uses the Commodore/AmiTech-installer which is included, so you should
- experience no trouble at this time. I guess the easiest way is install it is
- by doing a step-by-step work.
- - Set Installation Mode -Expert User
- - Installation Options -Install for Real
- -Log File (in case there occurs an error you
- can send me the log file)
- - Select directory... -Choose the directory where to install AmiTCP,
- the installer will *not* create a direcory,
- so I created one called "AmiTCP"
- Selected Drawer= "Work:Connect/AmiTCP"
- - Shows Licence -Read it :-)
- - Update Sana-II network... -Yes, if you use one of the following device
- drivers:A2060/A2065/rhslip/rhcslip.
- Since I assume you use a connection via
- ppp.device: No
- - install Napsaterm fonts -If you want to use Napsaterm: Yes
- - use settings former instal. -No
- - default user name -your user name (must be the same as in login
- name)
- - login name -your login-name (must be the same as in user
- name)
- - user ID -use recommended value (100)
- - primary group ID -same as above (100)
- - real name -your full name
- - home directory -for this purpose I created a directory called
- "Work:Connect/Home" which I also use as my
- download directory.
- - name of command interpreter -use recommended (shell)
- - Are you sure you want... -Add loginname
- - After this procedure you will be asked for a password twice. Enter one at
- your leisure if you don't want to be asked every time at bootup you can
- edit it later. (i.e. "Password")
- - network connection dynamic -Yes! Even if it isn't but only when
- connecting through ppp (not slip!) because
- handling will be done automatically by
- ppp.device!
- - domain name -Domain name (Chapter 2)
- - network interface type -PPP
- - network interface -ppp
- - default IP address -0.0.0.0 (will be changed later)
- - destination addres -1.1.1.1 (will be changed later)
- - netmask of the network -Netmask (Chapter 2) or leave empty
- - default gateway -should be 1.1.1.1 (same as destination
- address)
- - name server(s) -IP-Address of DNS (Chapter 2)
- DNS are some sort of phonebook. You send the
- DNS a symbolic address and it returns to you
- the IP-address
- (i.e. ftp.wustl.edu - 128.252.135.4)
- If you have entered all the DNS-addresses
- then enter an empty string.
- - domain names to search -normally this should be the domain name of
- your internet provider
- - change s:user-startup -Yes,Proceed
- - Inetd started at AmiTCP/IP.. -If you want your machine to react on events
- from outside (e.g. AmiTalk): Yes
- After this you get two files to read one is the "README.FIRST" the other one
- seems to be missing or there is an error in the install script. Anyhow you now
- have installed AmiTCP on your machine and should reboot. After this open a
- shell and enter "startnet". The following should appear:
- login: yourloginname
- Password:
- Now enter your selected password and a window should appear saying this is the
- demo version of AmiTCP 4.0. The "OK" button is ghosted for some seconds. Press
- it and a window named "AmiTCP/IP Log" appears. There should be a message:
-
- ...[info ]: iface_find(ppp0): no such interface in AmiTCP:db/interfaces
-
- In the shell window there should be something like:
- ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCGIFFLAGS): no such interface
- add net 0.0.0.0: gateway localhost
- add net default: gateway 1.1.1.1: Object exists
- If there appears an other error please contact me with the logfile.
- Otherwise enter "ping localhost" in your shell. You can stop this programm by
- entering ^C. The following output should read like:
-
- PING localhost (127.0.0.1): 56 data bytes
- 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=1 ms
- 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=255 time=1 ms
- 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=255 time=1 ms
-
- --- localhost ping statistics ---
- 3 packets transmitted, 3 packets received, 0% packet loss
- round-trip min/avg/max = 1/1/1 ms
-
- Your output may differ a little bit according after how many lines you stopped
- the programm. Important thing is the "0% packet loss", if so you have
- successfully installed AmiTCP on a local basis. But since we want to connect
- with the outer world we have to continue to the next chapter.
-
- BTW: If you want to get rid of the annoying password question when starting
- AmiTCP you have to edit "AmiTCP:db/passwd". Your entry should be the
- last one. Delete everything between the first and the second "|" so that this
- line reads:
- yourloginname||100|100|yourrealname|yourhomedirectory|yourinterpreter
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- I hope you'll get it all right. If you still have troubles then send me an
- email.
