From: haynes@cats.ucsc.edu (Jim Haynes) Subject: Net-2 questions, we all got net-2 questions! Date: 8 Jul 1993 06:00:18 GMT
I've got 99p10, net-2, libc 4.4.1 and all that stuff apparently together
and more or less working.
I had to arrange the /etc/rc.net to ifconfig eth0 first, then route add
for it, then ifconfig lo, then route add it. If the loopback got ifconfig-ed
first it seemed that any route I tried to add was routed through the loopback
rather than thru eth0. Is this a known bug or feature or am I missing
something.
Now I'm setting up a subnetted net, so I added a route to 128.114.199.0
on eth0; but netstat -r -n says the route is to 128.114.0.0. The
ifconfig has the correct netmask, 255.255.255.0. Is this a known bug
or feature?
All I have to test this with right now is a piece of coax with the i486
on one end and an AT with NCSA telnet on the other. From the AT
I can telnet to the i486 and log in. Then if I try to do something
like cat a file the first screenfull or two comes across fine, but then
things get erratic; apparently nothing comes across, if I hit various keys
I get more of the text sometimes, if I hit ctrl-C I'm still stuck, etc.
How to figure out what's happening?
The usual details: 16MB i486, WD 8013 (aka SMC Elite 16) card at
IRQ5, I/O 0x300, and shared memory address 0xcc000-0xcffff. In the
AMI BIOS I have turned off ROM shadowing, have set a non-cacheable
region at the shared memory address. The X server is not running
as I'm doing this test; but the graphics hardware is an Orchid Prodesigner
IIs. Serial mouse on the COM2, and nothing on COM1 right now.
The disk and stuff is on one of those multi-function IDE/COM/PTR/games
boards.
When I run the DOS setup program for the WD8013 it says the current
settings include Add Wait States - Yes. Should I change this?
