To IBM TCP (on MSDOSmachines) users in USENETland
I have installed IBM Transmission Control Protocol
for the Personal System/2 Computer software into
a Model 30 (the 8086 type) w/ a UB 2261A Ethernet board.
I am using a Micom transceiver
It doesn't work (yet)
I have "ohmed out" the thinlan coax, the transceiver
(and the AUI cable) is new
The LOADNIU.EXE utility that comes with the board
says that it passes diagnostics
The board is set for interrupt 2 and shared memory
space at $D0000. I have set DMA settings to 0
(which means that DMA doesn't exist, I think).
I have used the custom.exe program (which allows the
IBM software to match the particular HW setting)
to match these settings but to no avail
I have also tried different memory locations with
still no luck. Should I try a different I/O block
of addresses (I think there is only two to choose
from)
My signature is at the bottom. (I have turned debug
on and nothing looks bad EXCEPT that the software tells
me that it thinks that its ethernet address is
00.00.00.00.00.00. Is this right? Is this a backwards
broadcast address?). I also think that the machine
should be able to ping itself (but it won't)
I have installed/configured 802.3 hw/sw in multi and
various flavors of *nix machines but this is the first
time for a PC
Anyway, any help would be appreciated
