- I have been running ppp to my ISP for some time without problems.
-
- Recently I added an Ariadne ethernet card so I could my Amiga and
- SparcStation together in a private network.
-
- The Sun seems to be working ok. It can ping itself through the interface
- and SanaIIDevStat shows that packets are being delivered to the Amiga.
-
- AmiTCP is giving me more trouble, however. I can send data out but AmiTCP
- doesn't seem to be processing incoming packets.
-
- Pinging from Amiga to Amiga or Amiga to Sun produces traffic through the
- hub. SanaIIDevStat shows packets going out.
-
- Pinging from Sun to Amiga produces traffic going out from the Sun.
- SanaIIDevStat shows packets comming in. But AmiTCP sends no response. No
- outbound packets are registered by SanaIIDevStat.
-
- Pinging from Amiga to Amiga (external loopback) produces outbound traffic
- but no inbound packets registed by SanaIIDevStat.
-
- Pinging from Internet to Amiga over ppp.device results in a proper
- responce.
-
- Any ideas what is going on? My startnet script follows:
-
- ----cut here----
- failat 40
- online devs:networks/ppp.device 0
- online devs:networks/ariadne.device 0
- ; log in
- echo
