I am having a we bit of difficulty with TCP/IP on our PCs. Here is the setup: 8 Stations on a 1 Megabit StarLAN and 2 Servers. 2 Machines are being used as test machines for TCP/IP (so this is dos box to dos box -- the servers are not involved) CUTCP 2.2-D In use, Version 7 of the Packet Drivers Both machines have no starlan software in memory. Each machine executes: AT&T 0x7c 2 0x360 0xd000 SET CONFIGTEL=C:\FTP\CONFIG.TEL The machine that I am using as the "Server" I then do a TELBIN The machine that I am using as the "Client" I then do an FTPBIN The Config.tel file has the following statements: Server Client myip=128.128.128.1 myip=128.128.128.0 #How original? :-) myname=joe myname=rob netmask=255.255.252.0 netmask=255.255.252.0 #any one up for explaining the meaning of the values? hardware=packet hardware=packet interrupt=2 interrupt=2 address=0 address=0 ioaddr=0 ioaddr=0 mtu=1024 mtu=1024 maxseg=1024 maxseg=1024 rwin=2048 rwin=2048 The Password information is installed and is correct. When I: FTPBIN 128.128.128.1 It comes back and asks for a user name, I enter: rob It asks for the password and I enter my password. Everything is cool at this moment. I can CD and PWD to my hearts content. If I try to do a GET or a DIR I get a: 150 Opening Connection (I think) but nothing happens. On the Server machine, I get a message: Not allowed to connect to broadcast address and so on. Can anyone suggest things to try here. Obviouslly the machines are communicating since I can login, pwd, and cd. But when the volume of data is large, it gives that message and stops cold turkey. I can CTRL-BREAK and ESC from the situation. Also if anyone can offer a simple tutorial on working with the config.tel file, I would appreciate it. Our evenutal goal is to: use TCP/IP to connect to a VAX, IBM 3090, Unix File Server, Internet from both stand alone workstations (no StarLAN Software) and in conjuntion with StarGROUP in a simultanious fashion. (I am collecting the things I need for this, but if I cant get the simple case working....) Thanks in advance Rob Miracle "Baseball is an activity, Football is a Sport." -- George Carlin
