- Hi there,
-
- I've a question about configuring SLIP. We have two ethernet backbones which
- have diferent network numbers. On both networks there is an IBM RS/6000
- running AIX 3.2 connected. Both machines are connected to each other with a
- leased telephone line. So we tried to configure slip between those machines.
- It is possible to do a login session (rlogin) over the network from one
- machine to the other machine. But a ping to another host (non-IBM) on the
- other network doesn't work ! While a ping from the IBM on the same network to
- the "another host" still works.
- Also we used to have a possibility to login from a mac on the network using
- MacTCP to both machines but this possibility vanished after a reboot. And I've
- tried to do the configuration steps again but nu luck so far!!!
-
- Am I overestimating SLIP (no I suppose) or am I doing something wrong or have
- I forgotten to do something.....
