I suppose this should be comp.sys.annex or comp.sys.xylogics,
but in their absence, I post this here.
I am attached to the rest of the Internet via a SLIP connection
on an Annex I box. Everything was fine until I had more than one
host on my network. Naturally, the other machines on my ethernet
other than the one with SLIP are not directly reachable from the
Internet. Running /etc/routed on the SLIP machine "fixes" this,
but the Annex will crash several minutes after routed starts up.
The dual-homed SLIP/ethernet gateway has addresses 128.103.254.1--SLIP,
and 128.103.254.129--ethernet. The other ethernet machines are
numbered 128.103.254.130, 128.103.254.131, and so on. My netmask
is 255.255.255.128, using the MSB of the last octet to select SLIP
(only one interface, of course) or ethernet.
Anyone have any clues? Why would an Annex crash like this?
