Hello Out There, I am trying to get KA9Q to institute a SLIP service with a PC acting as a router between an ethernet and another PC across a serial line. The set up is given in the following diagram along with the contents of the files AUTOEXEC.NET on both PCs'. This is partly an educational exercise for ourselves but if we can get it to go it could have great possibilities for us. + + + ethernet + + +=VAX Multinet + (138.80.128.3) + + +=======PC1 KA9Q | | ip address [138.80.128.7] | hostname 80386sx.ntu.edu.au | attach packet 0x61 ec0 5 1500 | attach asy 0x3f8 4 slip cm1 2048 256 9600 | ifconfig cm1 ipaddr [138.80.200.1] netmask 0xffffff00 | broadcast 255.255.255.255 serial | ifconfig ec0 ipaddr [138.80.128.7] netmask 0xffffff00 null | broadcast 255.255.255.255 cable | route add [138.80.200.3] cm1 | route add [138.80.128/24] ec0 | domain addserver [138.80.128.3] | domain suffix ntu.edu.au | ip ttl 100 | ip rtimer 100 | tcp mss 200 | tcp window 1024 | tcp irtt 500000 | start telnet | start ftp | | | PC2 KA9Q ip address [138.80.200.3] hostname ps230.ntu.edu.au attach asy 0x3f8 4 slip cm1 2048 256 9600 ifconfig cm1 ipaddr [138.80.200.3] netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 255.255.255.255 route add [138.80.128.7] cm1 route add [138.80.128.3] cm1 domain addserver [138.80.128.3] domain suffix ntu.edu.au ip ttl 100 ip rtimer 100 tcp mss 200 tcp window 1024 tcp irtt 500000 start telnet start ftp From PC1 I can contact the VAX and TELNET, FTP, PING etc. From PC2 I can FTP and PING PC1 but I cannot get contact with the VAX. From the VAX I can PING and FTP PC1, but cannot PING PC2 and the FTP returns "Unreachable Host". I have the most recent version of KA9Q from THUMPER.BELLCORE.COM but my documentation does not seem complete. It has no reference to IFCONFIG. This command I picked up from NEWS. I would appreciate it if someone could inspect my set up and advise me what I am doing wrong. In addition if there is a more up to date version of the documentation could someone point me to it. Thanking you in anticipation. Regards Tery Anstey Northern Territory University Darwin, NTU Australia INTERNET: T_ANSTEY@DARWIN.NTU.EDU.AU VOICE: 061-89-466-108 FAX: 061-89-570-612
