I am having problems getting Stanford PC-IP to use RARP protocol to
obtain internet addresses. I can start a RARP daemon on our Sun
(4/280 running Sun-OS 3.2) but the PC fails to obtain it's IP address
at startup. As far as I know I configured /etc/ethers and /etc/hosts
properly (we're not running Yellow Pages yet).
I also tried initiating a PC as the RARP server. Another PC then
initializes properly (i.e. presumably it obtained it's internet
address) but a subsequent TELNET session to a host hangs while trying
to initiate the connection. If the second PC uses a hard-coded
internet address (installed with the CUSTOM program) TCPIP starts
properly and TELNET also works properly.
Anyone able to help?
Many thanks
