- I am having a heck of a time getting SLIP to work.
- My setup: A/UX 3.0 configured with bnet - MacIIci 8/160 - Telebit T3000
- modem with hardware-handshake cable.
- The problem: I want to use my Mac as a SLIP client to an HP9000/382
- running HP/UX 8.0 and configured as a SLIP server. I can cu(1) and log
- into the HP with no problem. I can start ppl(1) [<== The HP SLIP interface]
- ok, and it tells me the protocol is started. I can then run slattconf(1) on
- the Mac and it returns 'sl0' as expected. 'netstat -r' on the Mac indicates
- that the routing tables are as they should be. 'netstat -Isl0 10' shows
- that there are input and output packets flowing through 'sl0'.
-
- BUT.....
- If I try to do anything with the SLIP connection (i.e. - telnet, ftp,
- ping) nothing happens! I can 'ping' my local system via its system name
- as shown in /etc/hosts (rather than 'loop') and get results, but when
- I try to ping the SLIP server I get no response.
-
- Is there something obvious I can try to attempt to determine what's going on?
- Since netstat indicated input packets are arriving it would be nice
- if I could snoop at the packets to see their headers, but I don't see any
- A/UX support for that. I fear that I may have something within A/UX
- configured incorrectly such that the Mac does not recognize packets addressed
- to it.
-
- Any and all suggestions are welcome and will be tried. I will summarize
- all responses for the net if there is interest. Thanks in advance.....
