I could use some help from all you knowledgeable netters out there.
I have two NeXT computers now, both running 2.0, both cubes. I have
been totally unsuccessful in my attempts to get them to talk to each
other over the ethernet.
I followed the instructions in Chapter 5 of the sysadmin guide for
2.0, which was all very clear except that if it didn't work when you
were done, it wasn't any help at all.
I think what I need to do is to make one of my cubes the NetInfo and
Configuration Server, which I attempted to do with NetManager, then
set it up for Automatic Host Configuration. But it doesn't work,
and when I try to set "/" up for auto host configuration, it says that
it's a local domain and I can't do that.
I think my NetInfo database is not quite right, particularly in the
/machines subdirectory, but I have no idea what it's "supposed" to
look like, so I can't fix it.
I am loath to delete it and start over, mostly because of all the
user account data in there already.
Any help would be appreciated! Details on request.
Glenn
