I'm trying to set up KA9Q (NOS 900522) as a router between workstations on a
Novell ARCnet and our main campus ethernet. I'm using a 3c503 packet driver on
the ethernet side, and the IPXPKT driver on the Novell side. Everything works
fine from the Netware side. I can telnet or FTP to machines on the main campus
(or the world) without a problem. However, I can't go the other way and it
appears that the reason is that the KA9Q gateway isn't answer ARP calls.
If I telnet to our main VAX from the Novell net, I can ping back to the
gateway. If I rush across the street and log on to the VAX from a terminal, I
can ping the gateway. However, once the entry in the VAX's ARP cache (created
by the above outgoing telnet) disappears, I no longer get a response. There's
an entry in the ARP table, but it has no ethernet address next to it.
I would love suggestions as to what I'm missing. NOS appears to be a wonderful
program, but the documentation assumes a level of knowledge I don't have. Also,
what does the "discard" service do ("start discard" below)? My autoexec.nos
follows:
ip address [130.132.19.76]
hostname surgery-gw.med.yale.edu
#
# This router uses the address 130.132.19.76 on the VAX side and 130.132.61.1
# on the IPXPKT side
#
attach packet 0x60 eth 15 1500 [130.132.19.76]
ifconfig eth ipaddress 130.132.19.76 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 130.132.19.255
#
attach packet 0x61 pkt 8 1500 [130.132.61.1]
ifconfig pkt ipaddress 130.132.61.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 130.132.61.255
#
route add [130.132.61]/24 pkt
route add [130.132.19]/24 eth
#
# 130.132.19.1 is our single link to the outside world
#
route add default eth 130.132.19.1
#
ip ttl 16
#
tcp window 1024
#
tcp mss 1024
#
domain addserver 130.132.1.11 130.132.1.9 130.132.1.10
start echo
start discard
start ftp
Thank you very much.
