- Hello,
-
- I am a novice to CAP. I got CAP 6.0, patch level 125, and I want to
- install it on a SGI 4D35 running IRIX 4.0.2. If I understand the documentation
- correctly, I can use the UAB mechanism to make my SGI speak EtherTalk phase 1
- directly without having to have a Shive Fastpath or something similiar. If
- that's wrong, forget about the rest of my posting and correct me.
-
- We have a non-extended EtherTalk phase 2 network with net number 130-130,
- named "MinGeo EtherTalk". The ethernet controller interface is called ec0
- on my SGI, which is named "perm.geologie.uni-freiburg.de". Therefore, I
- constructed the following bridge_desc entry:
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- #
- perm.geologie.uni-freiburg.de [elap,ec:0] mkip [130,MinGeo EtherTalk]
- #
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Now, "getzones" will only report the "MinGeo EtherTalk" zone and
- not about the other zones on the net. atlook will only report about the CAP
- server programs that I start on my SGI but not about other AppleTalk entities
- on the net. It seems that I have a AppleTalk network that is restricted to
- the SGI itsself. Of course, the SGI won't come up on the Chooser of the Macs.
- The /etc/etalk.local file that uab writes looks like this:

- What is it what I missed ?

- Thanks for any help,
