Subject: [NET]: Problems with 0.99
Date: Fri, 18 Dec 1992 21:53:33 GMT

I'm having a few problems trying to get my box hooked up to my roommates.
Here's the setup:
  My box: 386/40, 8MB RAM, WD8003E card, kernel 0.99 (-scsi,+sound,+tcp/ip).
  Roommates: 386sx/16, 2MB RAM, 3c503 card, kernel 0.99 (-scsi,-sound,+tcp/ip).

I am not running named on either machine. I have the hosts file set up
identically on both machines:

darwin 129.30.30.1 [my machine]
fugazi 129.30.30.2 [roommate's]

The IP numbers are arbitrary since we are not hooked up to any net.

NOTE: I have not applied any of the tcp patches for 0.99. Please tell me if
it will help my situation to apply them.

I have compiled my kernel with the standard ether drivers, and my roommate's
with Donald Becker's 3c503 drivers. The ether cards on both machines get
detected correctly (well, mine tells me its a WD8013, but that isn't a big
deal), and I can telnet to loopback on both.

I have read the latest ether FAQ, and I thought that the bit about making
sure the 3c503 had the jumpers set to map shared memory at the place
where the kernel said it was would help, but to no avail.

The problem is this: I try to telnet out from my roommate's machine to
mine and it hangs. I try to telnet from mine to his, and on mine it
says "WD8003 timed out." and on his it has garbled packets and it says it's
resetting the card. I have no idea what's going on. Please mail me any
advice. Thanks in advance.
