Help! I just received MacTCP v1.0 from APDA and con't seem to get it installed on my machine correctly. I have a Mac ][ with an Apple Ethertalk card in it and ethertalk v1.1. I am directly connected to am ethernet using Class C addresses and I am trying to connect to a Sun w/ address 192.0.0.1. My assigned address is 192.0.0.81. When I run NCSA Telnet (non MacTCP), it works great! But if I try to run NCSA Telnet MacTCP it loads and immediately quits. I have also tried the TCP XCMD Example and it comes up with a "domain name resolver failed" message and if I choose ActiveOpen I get a "The Result: driver open failed" message. These seem to happen no matter what I put in for a Name or dot address. In the MacTCP control panel I have selected the Ethernet icon, Manually obtain address, class C address and node 81. Anyone have an idea of what I may be doing wrong? Thanks for your help! ======================================================================== John Howell uucp: uunet!suntc!jrh Deere & Company MCImail: 360-4047 Technical Center CompuServe: [76666,2505] 3300 River Drive FAX: (309)765-3807 Moline, IL 61265 Voice: (309)765-3784 ========================================================================

At the lower right hand corner is an area to type in domain name(s) and IP addresses of the DNR's. You need to have at least one entry for a name server, so that MacTCP can query it for addresses of remote hosts. If you don't have a name server, you can have a host file in your System Folder that contains the IP addresses of the hosts you want to get to. I've forgotten the name of the file and its exact format, but it's in the documentation.

Thanks for the replies to my request on helping to configure MacTCP. Unfortunately, no one had a solution, but I think I have narrowed in on the problem. In article <118@suntc.UUCP>, jh34607@suntc.UUCP (john howell) writes: > I have a Mac ][ with an Apple Ethertalk card in it and ethertalk v1.1. > I am directly connected to am ethernet using Class C addresses and I am > trying to connect to a Sun w/ address 192.0.0.1. My assigned address is > 192.0.0.81. Apparently MacTCP doesn't like the zero's in my net address. If I choose a address like 192.1.1.81 or 192.43.2.81, then MacTCP seems to think it is ok. If I use my real address of 192.0.0.81, MacTCP doesn't seem to load and NCSA Telnet will quit trying to connect with MacTCP. So, the dilema. I can get MacTCP configured, but I can't talk to anyone else, since everyone on my network is on 192.0.0.node and we don't have any routers. Question: Is 192.0.0.81 a valid address? I know you are not supposed to use a node 0, but that isn't the case here. John
