Hello everyone, I am having difficulties setting up NCSA Telnet 2.3 for TCP. I have purchased the current version of MacTCP 1.02 . The following is the layout of my net: 132.58.1.10 +-----+-------------------+ <LocalTalk> 132.58.1.xx | | Mac SE FastPath 3 <--132.58.1.220 localtalk port (gateway) <--132.58.2.5 ethernet port | <-----------+--------+------+------+-----------> <thin ethernet> | | | 132.58.2.xx Sun Sun Sun 132.58.2.2 132.58.2.4 132.58.2.3 I have previously setup the NCSA Telnet for LocalTalk (not TCP ver.) 2.3 without difficulties and had no problems connecting to the Sun (UNIX) hosts. When I try to do the sam efor the TCP version of NCSA's Telnet - no luck. I've gone through the documentation and I seem to understand the setup for MacTCP - well I though I did anyway. Here is my setup: Mac TCP ------- IP NUMBER: Addressing: * Manually 132.58.1.10 o Server o Dynamically Subnet: 255.255.255.0 Gateway: Net: 33??? (can't recall now) Subnet: 1 132.58.1.220 Node: 10 Domain Name Servers: default gumby.cs.yorku.ca 132.58.2.2 * The FastPath 3 is running ETALKGW.SREC . When I run NCSA's Telnet it comes up but I am unable to connect to any hosts. Also when running the regular version of Telnet the Mac can be PINGED from the UNIX box, yet with the MacTCP running I can not. I am using the same configuration file for Telnet(TCP) as for the regular version. My suspision is the problem is with the MacTCP setup or something with the FASTPATH setup. I am trying to get as a priority MacTCP setup because its next implementation will be testing Van Morrison's PCRoute software. I apologize if this is something trivial and has been discussed before. But for what seems to be a straight forward configuration, the solution has somehow eluded me. Please reply by either EMAIL or post to this NEWS GROUP. Many thanks in advance, Frank Pikelner Technical Assistant York University, Toronto, Cnd frank@cs.yorku.ca

This certainly is borne out in my experience. You'll have to replace your FastPath; Shiva or Cayman may give you a trade-in allowance. I haven't seen the new box from Shiva. The previous generation of Gatorboxen were easier to configure than FastPaths, and support from Cayman is good. You can write to info@cayman.com; I have no address for Shiva. -- Steve Dorner, U of Illinois Computing Services Office Internet: s-dorner@uiuc.edu UUCP: uunet!uiucuxc!uiuc.edu!s-dorner

Here is my setup: > I went through this EXACT same problem about 6 months ago. I complained on the net about it and actually got a call from the guy at Apple who wrote MacTCP. The problem is that the gateway needs to create two named objects called "IPADDRESS" and "IPGATEWAY" where the IPGATEWAY has a name that is its IP address. The FastPath 2's and 3's code don't do that, and I couldn't find anyone who could supply me with one that did. I heard (rumored) that an old version of the CAP package will do it, but I wasn't interested, so didn't follow up on it. My solution was to upgrade, switching to GatorBoxes, because the rest of the campus runs them, and it made sense to be the same. Now that Shiva has announced the FastPath 5, you might want to look into what you can get for an upgrade. They were offering upgrade (since expired) to FP4 for $1000.

My experience is different, MacTCP and KFPS-3 work fine together.
First we had problems but it turned out to be the settings in MacTCP.
You should not use the dynamic IP addressing, instead choose that
server gadget (hope I'm remembering this right, not on a mac now..)
