- hi.
- finally i got config to say something other than "socket: Protocal not supp..."
- still i have problems. *:-)
- our university is the net 140.78 in Austria. the pc where i want to install
- linux is on a subnet at this university, 140.78.4, and the pc itself should
- be assigned the ip-number 140.78.4.41.
- The gateway is (that is the ROUTER, from the /usr/etc/inet/rc.local ???)
- 140.78.4.31.
-
- I try to startup the device now:
-
- > #!/bin/sh
- > config loopback 127.0.0.1
- > config -r 140.78.4.31 -n 140.78.4.0 -d eth0 140.78.4.41
- > inetd
-
- okey. when I try to telnet outside, i get "wd8003 timeout ...", and telnet
- into doesn't connect either (doing a ps on the linux host I c that telnetd is
- never started)
-
- I may or may not add
-
- > config loopback 140.78.4.41
-
- this line simply doesn't matter ...
-
- Somewhere in the source i have read "No need for a net-mask", well, i trust
- the source :) Also, I am not sure about the -n value.
- Should I use the subnet (140.78.4.0) or should I use the whole local-net
- (140.78.0.0) ..... (Tried both, none worked, or, well, i'm just to confused
- about having to boot every 10 minutes or so ....)
-
-
-
-
- Also, in /usr/etc/inet/resolv.conf i have entered: domain-name & 2 name servers
- But named cannot find named.boot. Where is this file ? Couldn't get it in the
- distribution ...
-
-
- Who has connected the wd-card using linux/tcpip to the net successfully ?
- Please help me !!! :-)))
