Can anybody give me some help in trying to work out what's going wrong when my system starts up ? I am running SCO unix 3.2v2.0 on a 386 box with a Western Digital 8003E ethernet card. After problems installing the ethernet card, I can now get the system to admit that the card is present, using IRQ 3, and base address 0x0240. When the system comes up into multi-user mode, error messages are displayed when TCP is started. Here's a transcript of what happens: Starting TCP: cpd slink: register: activation state mismatch Couldn't Register: Error 0 slink ldsocket ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCGIFFLAGS): Invalid argument ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCGIFFLAGS): Invalid argument strerr inetd routed rwhod The system is ready. Once the system has started, trying something to access the net, or use TCP in general results in an error. e.g. ping % ping localhost ping: connect: Can't assign requested address The ethernet card is OK according to the testing software supplied with it, so the problem is either with the TCP itself, or a mistake in the configuration of the system. Any advice will be most welcome. Thanks, Richard. Richard Cutler rcutler@axion.bt.co.uk Software Technology ...!ukc!axion!rcutler British Telecom Labs.

Can you imagine how deep the water'd be if they didn't? Richard Cutler rcutler@axion.bt.co.uk Software Technology ...!ukc!axion!rcutler British Telecom Labs.

The activation state of TCP must match that of your OS, or TCP will fail to start properly. Either your OS is multiuser and you serialized TCP to be limited functionality, or your OS is two-user and TCP is unlimited. -- Wu Liu -- Member, Technical Staff The Santa Cruz Operation, Inc.
