[comp.protocols.tcp-ip.ibmpc] CUTCP can't make TCP connection

mjhammel@Kepler.dell.com (Michael J. Hammel) (02/22/91)

I'm using the Clarkson Packet Drivers (7.x) and CUTCP (2.2D) on a
Wyse286 PC.  The system has an IBM VGA card and an MFM disk controller
in it.  When I use a WD8003EB the cards shared memory address keeps
getting reset to 80000 and the packet driver says that the suggested
address is already in use.  When I use a 3C503 the packet driver loads
ok, but telneting to the UNIX host doesn't complete (can't make a TCP
connection).  I think theres something mucking with the packet drivers
ability to work properly but don't know what to look for.  

Both cards were supposed to be run at IRQ 5, Base I/O 300, and shared
mem dc000.  

Is there a way to turn on some sort of debugging when I start either
telbin or the packet driver so I can see whats going on?

I agree, it's terribly frustrating not knowing what's going on.
That's why I wrote ``trace'' and ``dump''.  Trace will keep track of
all packet driver transactions and write them to disk.  Dump will
print them out in a human-readable fashion.
