- I've dedicated this weekend to getting my linux box up on
- the ethernet. unfortunately, I 've run into the same probelms
- as everyone else. Here is what I did.
-
- 1) installed SMC Elite 16 and changed parameters using software
- 2) recompiled tcpip with proper values in Space.c in
- 0.98.1 kernel.
- 3) got tcpip-0.8 suite and put stuff in /usr/bin and
- /usr/etc/inet
- NOTE: why did EVERYONE erase the tcpip suites on the various
- anon ftp sites?????
- 4) ran install.net
- made up a router cause I don't know the one for this school.
- 5) all telnet and ftp attempts fail due to 'host unreachable'
- or name server lookup, even the loopback.
-
- Would someone please take time out to assist me before I lose my
- mind? i'd like to get this finished before Thankgiving.
-
- BTW, I did read the new FAQ. Some suggestions: it never mentioned
- where to get ftp,telnet, etc. (aka the tcpip-0.8.tar.Z suite).
- in fact, it never even said you need it.
- 2nd, the part about named is very confusing. i will point out
- problems if the author is interested.
-
- again, please please assist me. My dad works at the Coors Virtual Beer
- Brewery and I can get you a few free virtual six-packs :)
