I just recieved Apple's Mac TCP in the mail yesterday, and I am having trouble getting it to work. Is there a mechanism within Apple for asking questions about this? Anyway, here's what I have: Target Mac is a Mac IIx with LocalTalk connection. My IP gateway is a Gatorbox. I installed Mac TCP with the "server option" and then rebooted. When I check the control panel, I see that no IP address has been acquired. I know that the Gatorbox is working because we use NCSA Telnet here to get IP addresses. The TCP version of NCSA just exits with no diagnostics. What am I missing? Do I need system 6.0.3? I have 6.0.2. -- Craig McGowan NYSERNet, Inc.

The TCP version of NCSA just exits with no diagnostics. The current incarnations of MacTCP and GatorSoftware only function with MacTCP assigning IP addresses statically. We have tried to get the dynamic and server modes to work, but there are still some issues that we need to resolve with Apple to get it to work. -chris -- Chris North chris@cayman.COM Cayman Systems 26 Landsdowne Street Cambridge MA 02139 617-494-1999
