[comp.protocols.appletalk] CAP configuration without KIP

ewente@bronze.ucs.indiana.edu (Ellsworth Wente) (12/07/90)

I am currently trying to get CAP to work on our new IBM6000, and I am having
all kinds of trouble getting it configured.  I have managed to get CAP
compiled, but I can't get atlook to see the gateway.  This is the only unix
system using the gateway, and I only want to run lwpr, so I have not installed
kip.  The gateway was configured by our VMS systems manager, and I've gotten
his config listings.  The problem I am having is determining what to use for
the xx.yy appletalk network number in the atalk.local file.  Since we aren't
running kip, I have no way of knowing what this number is since there is no
atalkatab file.  I also noticed that the fastpath does not echo ping packets
when I ping it.  Is it supposed to?  If anyone can offer any help, I'd 
appreciate it.

my atalk.local looks like this:

xx.yy 97 97 High Energy Physics
xx.yy 99 129.79.157.99

129.79.157.99 is the ethernet IP address of the gateway, and
129.79.156.1 is the appletalk IP address.  
129.79.157.97 is my host address.

Any ideas?  This is all new to me, and noone around here has been able to help.
