[comp.sys.sgi] xircom ethernet adapter and iris

visti@SAUNA.HUT.FI (Hannu Visti) (08/28/90)

I have had problems with a msdos-machine usinc XIRCOM pocket ethernet
adapter. With them I can send and receive files (by ftp or rcp) normally,
but when I try to send something to an iris, the pc hangs and nothing
goes trough. Same thing happens if I connect to the pc from the iris and
try to receive something.

When the traffic is from iris to pc, there is no problems, everything
works just fine. Seems a little bit odd to me...


If someone has or has not got this adapter working, please tell me.

Here, I meant to say that everything works fine to bot directions with
other machines than irises... (I really should begin reading all articles
trough before posting them....)
