[comp.protocols.tcp-ip.ibmpc] PC-IP with ArcNet

ironduke@fuhainf2.fernuni-hagen.de (04/24/91)

hi, netlanders !

I got the sources from pc-ip and tried to compile them with
turbo-c 2.0, impossible :-(. On the other hand i do not want
to buy Microsoft C 6.0 only to compile pc-ip. 

The everywhere avilable binaries I can not use, for i need the
arcnet-patches. now the question: did anyone compile pc-ip
including the arcnet-stuff ? Can this person e-mail me the
binaries ?

thanks in advance

Hi, NetUsers !

Ok, I have compiled PC-IP and it uses the ArcNet-card correctly. I do not
use any packet-driver, for I do not want to get the error-message:
      "Driiver Type 8 unknown."       :-(  :-(
It runs directly on the hardware. Now I have various problems
configuring the program: 

I have no name-server running on the connected UNIX-server. Switching all
the debug-levels on, I can see that 'ping' tries to connect the same    
machine on which I started ping, the DOS-pc. With 'custom' I set all the
server numbers to the UNIX-machine. What did I do wrong ?

Is it correct just to set in the 'custom'-menu the ethernet-numbers
to the (much shorter) Arcnet-addresses ?

Can anybody, who got the package run, give me some tips ?

thanks in advance
