I have an IBM PC RT running AIX 2.2.1, and I have been trying to put it on the Ethernet Network. Each time I try to telnet or rlogin to a remote host I get the following message: net0: transmit timeout 8200: shutting down device telnet: connect: connection timed out I have added (using 'devices' command) net0 and pty's, and configured the following files: /etc/rc.include /etc/hosts /etc/rc.tcpip as described in Interface program in use with TCP/IP document p A2 I would appreciate any help or suggestions.

Few things to try out:
1. Interrupt vector setting on your card and the one you used in the
devices command. The boards come with a setting of 9, and the devices
command comes up with "3" when adding the net0 device. Make sure they
match.
2. Edit the file /etc/net to comment the stanza corresponding to net0,
and add the line (also edit the ipnumber):
rip = input, output
as the fourth if it's not already there. Run netconfig to configure
the interfaces. This is usually done in your rc.tcpip file. Also,
have you added the appropriate :
ifconfig net0 `hostname` ...
line in your rc.tcpip?
3. Bad cable/connector. Make sure the connection is ok. If you're using
a DESTA, check the cable between the transceiver and the board.
Hope it helps.

Look at the reference page for the adapter in the hardware reference. There are four choices for the address, settable by jumpers on the card. For some reason, the address set on the card at the factory is not the same as the default address used by 'devices'. -- Chuck Karish karish@mindcraft.com Mindcraft, Inc. (415) 323-9000
