Seems like your routing table needs some tuning. You can see all your
routes by issuing the command
netstat -r
It should state that the loopback is routed through localhost, your
local network through your own host (only U, not UG both) and finally
it should have a default route through the gateway that connects your
lan to the rest of the Internet. If you don't see an entry saying
"default", than that's your problem. If you don't know what the
gateway is, try asking someone working with your local lan.
The place where you need to add this default route is the file
/etc/netlinkrc
There is a place where to add all routes (search for the word route).
The command to add is something like
/etc/route add default gateway.domain 1
(the last character is number one, not lowercase L). Replace the
string gateway.domain with the name of the machine acting as a
gateway. You also need to add that into your /etc/hosts, unless you
are using DNS (hopefully you are, DNS = Domain Name Service) or if you
don't use DNS, but use YP, then it needs to be found in the YP map
hosts (and hosts.byname, hosts.byaddr).
Hopefully this will help you and all others!

This is a basic question, and I suppose there's a simple answer, but reading the manual is not getting me anywhere... What steps do I need to take to configure a Series 300 under HP-UX 7.0 so that I can use (anonymous) ftp with sites on the internet? When I add an entry to /etc/hosts, then do an ftp open I get ftp: connect: Network is unreachable which tells me there's some other file that needs adjusting. How do I tell the system the route to reach a new remote site? How do I establish a direct internet connection? I have this eerie feeling that I'm missing something really basic here... Thanks in advance! -- Roger Meunier @ Zuken, Inc. Yokohama, Japan (roger@zuken.co.jp)

Thanks to all who sent E-mail.

We use a modem and UUCP. Is there some way to specify a route under these circumstances, or do I have to find a way to use UUCP to accomplish the same thing? (Does FTP require real-time connections/responses, or can it "batch" requests/responses?) Anxiously awaiting a solution... -- Roger Meunier @ Zuken, Inc. Yokohama, Japan (roger@zuken.co.jp)

Yes - to use TCP/IP with HP-UX as distributed by HP, you must have an
ethernet card connected to a network. If you use a modem to connect
somewhere then you must use UUCP and try to find mail servers and/or
anonymous UUCP file servers. I've never used UUCP so I don't know any
closer how it works.
Of course then there is another way to connect TCP/IP through a serial
port and/or modem. What you need is a SLIP protocol implementation
(or DialSLIP with a modem, I guess). Reading comp.sys.hp seems to
indicate, however, that SLIP isn't too available for HP-UX. See the
many articles on the subject.
