i'm relatively new to the KIP software and have a question. background: we have a Kinetics FP-3 interfacing our Sun to an appletalk network. we use Telnet on the mac successfully, configured to allocate IP addresses dynamically. the 'atalkad' program starts up at boot time, and all works as advertised. problem: what i want to do is raise the number of dynamically allocated IP addresses for use by Telnet. when the system was setup, the file /etc/atalkatab was fixed to allocate 2 static and 6 dynamic IP addresses (which is does). i changed the parameter to permit 12 dynamic IP addresses in /etc/atalkatab, but with no effect. the atalkalog shows that atalkad (re)read the table but i am still unable to take advantage of the additional addresses. i've tried calling atalkad with 'boot' and 'route' as arguments, and even turned the FP-3 off, to no avail. for what it's worth, the atalkatab table looks like this: 55.99 H 192.9.99.1 METAZ # 56.1 K 192.9.99.240 METAZ # I192.9.99.255 I192.9.99.1 #ipbroad ipname I192.9.99.1 L0 #ipdebug ipfile L0 L0 L0 L0 S0 S0 #ipother unused unused LX0 S2 S12 #flags ipstatic ipdynamic S56.1 S55.99 "METAZ" #atneta atnete zonea any suggestions? please send replies via e-mail. thanks. ----------------------------- Alan Epstein Meta Software Corp UUCP: ...bbn!metasoft!alan 150 Cambridgepark Dr Internet/ARPA: alan%metasoft@bbn.com Cambridge, MA 02140 USA -----------------------------
