- Subject line says it. I took the plunge and decided to get TCP/IP going,
- because I want to try and run a SLIP link in the near future. After much
- hair pulling over configuration it's sort of working, but not very well.
-
- First, the code compiled fine. No problems if I run with the code compiled
- and nothing configured. I added the 3 pl5 patchs to a clean copy of the pl5
- kernel went from there.
-
- With a loopback device and local IPaddress configured, I can telnet to them,
- but only if I use the IPaddress itself. The 'connected...' message comes back
- immediately, but it takes about 2 minutes for the login prompt to come up, and
- then everything seems to work OK. If I try to start another telnet session
- to the same address while the first one is waiting around, the first one ends
- with connection closed by other end.
-
- Using the name (i.e. telnet loopback) just hangs telnet.
-
- After running rc.net, my system also seems to be in a unstable
- state. When I back out of X with <ctrl><alt><bksp> and then try to reboot with
- <ctrl><alt><del>, the system hangs. I've also had the system come crashing
- down and reboot while playing with telnet. I also can't get a printer daemon
- to work at all when inetd is running.
-
- Anyone have any helpfull hints?? I'm still bashing at it, but I'm not real
- familiar with the innerworkings of TCP/IP (yet).
