Has anyone had problem getting Interactive Unix 2.2 TCP/IP to work with twisted pair ethernet. We are using 3COMM 3C503 ethernet boards with built-in tranceivers. Our ethernet hub is SynOptics 10BASE-T. These 3COMM boards work perfectly with PC-NFS. The ethernet works perfectly with our Sun Sparcstations, GatorBox and PC-NFS, but Interactive TCP/IP will not allow us to PING, or TELNET or RLOGIN or whatever. P. St. Louis

The problem we had was that when we set up sendmail, it puts nameserver in /etc/resolve.conf, even though we told it we did not have a name server. According to ISC support, this is a known bug. We changed the nameserver to nonameserver, and everything came up like a champ. (By the way, we could use numeric addresses to do things like ping and telnet. If you have set up sendmail, and can ping a numeric address, then this might be the solution to your problem.) >P. St. Louis Ben Taylor Systems Administrator LCC Incorporated uunet!lccinc!bent

St. Louis ISC uses twisted pair ethernet internally at two corporate sites. We use our OS version 2.2, some 2.02, HBTCP 1.2, wd-8003 cards with outside 10Base-T tranceivers for the most part, David Systems 10Base-T hubs. Works great. Double check that the boards used are supported by our driver, (I think 3C503 is, but not sure), and contact support to see if there are any special notes about your hardware and setup.
