Hi, forgive my ignorance, but I'm new to Mac networks.
I'm trying to get printer sharing between our SUNs and our MACs.
Current configuration as follows:
Ethernet backbone
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| | |
|Ethertalk |Ethertalk --------------
| | | 4/370 |
| | | SunOS 4.0.3|
| | --------------
| |
--------- ---------
| | LocalTalk | | LocalTalk ---------------
| |-----------| |-----------| LaserWriter |
--------- --------- ---------------
MacII MacOS
EtherPortII
Appletalk for printer access
We only have a few MACs on the network and only use Localtalk for
printing. Everything else is done via Ethertalk/Ethernet. I'd like
to get rid of the Localtalk network completely.
I thought RUTGERS CAP would provide that, but I'm having trouble getting
it running. I got as far as Claude Scarpelli (scarpell@cnca.cnca-cam.fr)
in a recent posting:
ie. made the library, made the programs, installed enet, etc.
Running aarpd returns:
Acquired node number 197
Running aarptest returns:
zone MY ZONE this 0.197 gw 0.0 nis 0.0 intf enet0
Running "aarptest 197" returns:
ether addr 0:0:0:0:0:0 (Why!?)
zone MY ZONE this 0.197 gw 0.0 nis 0.0 intf enet0
I traced aarpd as far as I could. One symptom(?) is that etalk_init()
returns 0. The comment beside the return statement says:
/* true if okay, 0 o.w. */
If it's not okay, then why not? What am I missing?
I assume it timed out? Then, what was it waiting for?
Do I need an AppleTalk Internet Router? If so, where can I get one?
Other output (for atis, atistest, etherstat, etc.) is similar to
Scarpelli's posting.
Is there anyone out there who can help me?
E-mail responses are preferable to postings.
Thanks in advance.
