Hello, I've just installed the TCP/IP networking software on a Compaq 486/33 PC machine running SCO Unix. After setting up the ethernet card (thin ethernet) interface, I added what I believe to be the appropriate "ifconfig..." statement to my /etc/tcp (effectively the /etc/rc.local) file. Also, since I'm on a subnetted network, I added a "route add default..." gateway line (I administer a DECstation running Ultrix on the same network, so I basically modelled these commands from this machine). Now, I can do a successful "ping localhost" command, which tells me (as the manual suggests) that my interface is ok (more or less the hardware is talking to the software via the driver /etc/wdn0). But I can not ping anything else (I have a /etc/hosts file set up). Can someone offer some suggestions on why I can't seem to talk to the network? Perhaps some file somewhere has a crucial line commented out? Otherwise, if this is the wrong newsgroup, please suggest a more appropriate one. Please send all replies to andrewd@cs.tamu.edu Thanks in advance, Andrew. -- -------------- Not an Official Texas A&M University Document --------------
