| Inet$HostName must be set to the principal host name of this |
| RISC OS machine. |
|================================================================|
Set Inet$HostName thishost
|================================================================|
| Inet$EcoIPAddr sets whether you have an Econet interface that |
| you wish to configure for TCP/IP, and (if so) sets its |
| Internet address. It may be used in these different ways: |
| |
| Econet interface not used for TCP/IP |
| ------------------------------------ |
| If an Econet interface is not present, or is not to be |
| configured to support Internet protocols (default), then: |
| |
| Set Inet$EcoIPAddr "" |
| |
| Internet address set up explicitly |
| ---------------------------------- |
| You may explicitly set the Internet address of your Econet |
| interface. For example: |
| |
| Set Inet$EcoIPAddr 1.0.0.1 |
| |
| Internet address set from interface name |
| ---------------------------------------- |
| You may specify the interface name of your Econet interface. |
| In this case, its Internet address is found by looking up the |
| specified interface name in the hosts database. (The location |
| of the hosts database is set below by the variable |
| InetDBase$Path.) For example: |
| |
| Set Inet$EcoIPAddr thishost_eco |
| |
| If all your Econet interface names are derived from the |
| principal host name in the same way, you can avoid having to |
| edit the value of Inet$EcoIPAddr for each station. For |
| example: |
| |
| Set Inet$EcoIPAddr <Inet$HostName>_eco |
| |
| Internet address set from principal host name |
| --------------------------------------------- |
| You may have a number of stations that use only Econet to |
| connect to TCP/IP, and that hence use their principal host |
| name as their Econet interface name. Their Internet address |
| can be found by looking up their principal host name in the |
| hosts database, thus: |
| |
| Set Inet$EcoIPAddr <Inet$HostName> |
| |
| Using this method avoids having to edit the value of |
| Inet$EcoIPAddr for each station. |
| |
| Internet address set from an ARP server |
| --------------------------------------- |
| You may look up the Internet address of the Econet interface |
| via a Reverse ARP exchange with a remote ARP server. The ARP |
| server is passed the Econet interface's physical address of |
| 00:00:00:00:<net_number>:<station_number>, and returns its |
| Internet address. If this is required, then: |
| |
| Set Inet$EcoIPAddr revarp |
| |
| Internet address set from a BOOTP server |
| ---------------------------------------- |
| You may also look up the Internet address of the Econet |
| interface via an exchange with a remote BOOTP server. The |
| server is passed the Econet interface's physical address of |
| 00:00:00:00:<net_number>:<station_number>, and returns its |
| Internet address. If this is required, then: |
| |
| Set Inet$EcoIPAddr bootp |
|================================================================|
Set Inet$EcoIPAddr ""
|================================================================|
| Inet$EcoIPMask sets the Econet interface's netmask, which |
| specifies how much of an Econet Internet address is to be |
| interpreted as the network part, and how much as the host |
| part. |
| |
| The default value: |
| |
| Set Inet$EcoIPMask default |
| |
| is suitable for any network with no subnets. If you are using |
| subnets then you must set this value as appropriate. For |
| example: |
| |
| set Inet$EcoIPMask 0xfffff800 |
| |
| If an Econet interface is not present, is not configured to |
| support Internet protocols, is using Reverse ARP, or is using |
| BOOTP, then the value of this variable is ignored. |
|================================================================|
Set Inet$EcoIPMask default
|================================================================|
| Inet$EtherIPAddr sets whether you have an Ethernet interface |
| that you wish to configure for TCP/IP, and (if so) sets its |
| Internet address. It may be used in these different ways: |
| |
| Ethernet interface not used for TCP/IP |
| -------------------------------------- |
| If an Ethernet interface is not present, or is not to be |
| configured to support Internet protocols, then: |
| |
| Set Inet$EtherIPAddr "" |
| |
| Internet address set up explicitly |
| ---------------------------------- |
| You may explicitly set the Internet address of your Ethernet |
| interface. For example: |
| |
| Set Inet$EtherIPAddr 1.0.0.1 |
| |
| Internet address set from interface name |
| ---------------------------------------- |
| You may specify the interface name of your Ethernet interface. |
| In this case, its Internet address is found by looking up the |
