[comp.protocols.appletalk] need help with KIP

mark@cs.surrey.ac.UK (Mark Ellis) (04/14/89)

Would someone like to volunteer to help a naiive user to set up KIP/CAP?

Here is an outline of the problem; there may be something really obvious
which I've missed. If not, could you point me at someone I can give the
full details to?

I have KIP0688 running on a KFPS-3 bridging a LocalTalk Mac network, and
an ethernet of SUN-IIIs (SUNOS 4.0.1) and EtherTalk MACS. 
The Localtalk printers are showing up in the finders, NCSA Telnet works, 
and atalkalog shows that the configuration has taken place...
but that's all.
I have set up CAP (from distribution 5) on one of the SUNs (131.227.4.1)
which is also the KIP admin host.
Atlook, for example, shows no activity. The Kip documents suggest that 
atalkatab is not supplying the proper routing. Here's my entry... is 
there some obvious mistake?

55.4	H	131.227.4.220	MATHS		#maths, appletalk-in-IP
57.4	E	131.227.4.220	MATHS		#maths, ethertalk
56.1	KC	131.227.4.220	MATHS		#maths, localtalk
	I131.227.4.0	I131.227.4.1		#ipbroad ipname
	I131.227.4.1	I131.227.4.1		#ipdebug ipfile
	L0 L0 L0 L0	S57.4 S200		#ipother atnetet ddprangestart
	L0	S8	S2		#flags ipstatic ipdynamic
	S56.1	S55.4	"MATHS"		# atneta atnete zone

Here's atalk.local on the same host:

# mynet mynode myzone 
55.4 1 MATHS
# bridgenet bridgenode bridgeIP
55.4 220 131.227.4.220

Replacing the "H" line with 131.227.4.1 and running atalkrd doesn't seem
to have any effect.

Footnote: atalkad -c tells me that "zone names take 0 bytes in gateway"
(because of a missing argument to the logging function call). Are there
some fixes to atalkrd which I've failed to pick up?
