I am not really sure where this question belongs. So if it does not belong
on this list please redirect me.
ok... I am having a problem making two linux boxes talk to each other.
one is named kirk and the other is named spock.
I set up the host file in /etc/inet and put the hostname corresponding to the
machine in each. on kirk /etc/inet/host says kirk and on spock it says spock.
next I edited the hosts file on each machine.
kirk: /etc/inet/hosts look something like this.
kirk 195.2.0.128
network 195.2.0.1
spock 195.2.0.129
oppps I goofed.. the numeric come before the alpha so the previous columns
should be reversed... anyway.. I justed edited the files that came with
my version of SLS.
spocks hosts file looks identical...
next I ran hostname kirk and spock respectively
and ran domainname android.com (my imaginary company address)
and finally I ran hostcvt.build , synced and rebooted.
I ran into a problem with spock's base ram address. it could not load the
8013 into D0000 so I changed it to F0000 and recompiled the kernel.
so thinking that fixed the problem.. but it did not. argh.
this is what happens...
on kirk:
telnet spock yields can not establish connection.. (in fact it does not
seem like it even attempts it)
on spock:
telnet kirk yields... trying 195.2.0.128
I see both lights blicking on each card but they never connect.
so that is my story... am I missing an steps???
1) host
2) hosts
3) hostname
4) domainname
5) hostcvt.build
if anyone has a clue.. please let me know.
thanks in advanced.
