We have two LocalTalk networks connected by a Shiva NetBridge. I reside in
LocalTalk Net #2. In Net #1 there's a Kinetics FastPath connected to a small
Ethernet.
When the NetBridge was first installed it was configured so Net #1 and Net #2
possessed the same zone name. For reasons which aren't important, the NetBridge
had to be reconfigured to create two separate zone names.
Problem: When the zones had the same name I was able to find the FP gateway
and use NCSA Telnet to connect to a workstation. Now, with the different zone
names, I can't. I revised my config.tel file to reflect the new configuration, i.e., I
inserted a zone="name" to point to the zone where the FastPath resides .
Any ideas? I called Shiva and they said this should be possible but it doesn't seem
to work....nothing else has changed.
Here's the config.tel file:
hardware=AppleTalk
zone="NDHM EDCD"
ftp=yes
termtype="vt100" # terminal type to advertise (safe bet)
arptime=5
name=Shelf_Life # Session name, "default" is a reserved name

hostip=100.14.40.1 # IP address of host, example is for SRI-NIC
#gateway=1 # This machine is a gateway for me
#nameserver=1 # This machine has a DOMAIN name server for me
scrollback=100 # number of lines of scrollback per session
erase=delete # use delete code or backspace code for <- key?
# legal values are "delete" and "backspace"
vtwrap=yes # should VT100 be in wrap mode or not?
nfcolor="{0,0,0}" # normal, foreground (Mac II)
nbcolor="{65535,65535,65535}" # normal, background (Mac II)
bfcolor="{0,0,0}" # blink, foreground (Mac II)
bbcolor="{65535,65535,65535}" # blink, background (Mac II)
#crmap=4.3BSDCRNUL # map of the CR key for compatibility

mtu=512 # maximum transmit unit in bytes
# AppleTalk MAX = 512

The Shiva NetBridge is not the problem. We have some here and they work fine with the MacTCP version of NCSA Telnet 2.3. I can think of two problems: If you are using the MacTCP version of NCSA Telnet, the "zone" field in the config.tel file is ignored. You must use the MacTCP control panel to select the zone instead. Tell MacTCP to get the IP address from the server. Don't try to use a static IP address - due to a deficiency in the protocols, static IP addresses don't work on LocalTalk Macs in zones other than the zone to which the FastPath or other AT/IP gateway is directly connected.
