[comp.unix.ultrix] Ultrix 2.2 networking

edwards@dogie.macc.wisc.edu (mark edwards) (04/25/89)

 We have experienced an incompatibility in the networking between Ultrix 2.2 
 and BSD4.3(+). It showed up in ftp when trying to do the file transfer, the
 connection would open for the file transfer and just hang. We can do a "ls"
 though. There seems to be no problem with Ultrix 3.0, or an earlier version
 of BSD4.3. Meaning we tryed various combinations of the operating systems
 and the only place where the ftp fails is the Ultrix 2.2 and BSD4.3(+). We
 even tryed moving the ftpd from Ultrix 3.0 to Ultrix 2.2.

 Has anyone else noticed this? or solved this?


 thanks

This sounds a lot like what happens when you leave the /etc/ifconfig line
in /etc/rc.local untouched. Ultrix sets it up so as to use trailers. Try
the following:

	/etc/ifconfig qe0 -trailers

and add that to the /etc/rc.local file, to see if it works.
