Hi, I recently bought and installed the commodore TCP/IP package. I have added the host table from a local machine (I am connected thru the machines on campus - so I used one of their host tables). I can rlogin and ftp to the local machines fine but when I try to ftp to ab20.larc.nasa.gov I get a host not found - if I try to ftp to the ab20's inet number I get network unreachable. What is wrong.? I have added the gateway inet number that the other pc's use but still no success. Also - I have tried starting the routed server with start-inet RIP - it reports that SIOCADDRT is already in use, previous to that I have only run start-inet. Is this OK?

Starting the router daemon should work but doesn't seem to. If you have the mask and broadcast addresses set correctly it should maintain the router tables for you. Instead of start-inet RIP, just do start-inet or start-inet servers and then do a route add default "name of your gateway" 1 If you have access to another machine on your network you can find the name of the gateway by doing a netstat -r command. If you need more than one gateway, you will need to replace "default" with the appropriate value. John
