- Hi. I cannot seem to get my tcpip connection to work. I am using
- a SMC Elite 16T. I edited Space.c so that memory end is d4000
- (instead of d2000). Is there anything else in Space.c that I need to
- change? (Like the receive memory start/end maybe?)
-
- At boot up, linux recognizes my SMC card as 16 bit, 64 pages memory.
- When I try to telnet out of my linux box,
- telnet 128.189.39.130
- I get "wd8003 transmit timed out" back immediately, then
- more such messages every few seconds. The receive light on the SMC
- card is constantly blinking (recognizing the traffic on the net). The
- TX (send) light blinks once for each "wd8003 transmit timed out" message.
- Eventually, telnet times out "unable to connect to remote host:
- connection timed out".
-
- If I telnet to 127.0.0.1 (loopback), I get connected almost instantly,
- but also get the same "wd8003 transmit timed out" messages. I get a
- login prompt after about two minutes (why the wait anyway?)
-
- Here is my set up. I have a Sun at 128.189.39.130, and a nameserver
- at 128.189.32.1. My ip address is 128.189.39.153. I don't have a
- router (to my knowledge). I am calling config like so:
- config -r 0.0.0.0 -n 128.189.39.0 eth0 128.189.39.153
-
- I am not running named locally (on my linux box). resolve.conf and
- hosts are set up by install.net script (nothing special about them).
-
- I am running linux 0.98pl4. I know there have been some changes to
- the tcpip stuff in pl5 + Ross' new patches, but right now I just want to
- get pl4 working (I doubt that upgrading will solve this particular
- problem). Right now I don't care if I can't telnet outsite my subnet,
- nor do I care if I can resolve names. I just want get
- "telnet 128.189.39.130" to work for starters.
-
- I am using the new inetd from sunsite, new-telnet from nic, config.c
- from tcpip0.8.1, services file from the etherFAQ, and install stuff
- from tcpip0.8.
-
- Does anybody know what I am doing wrong? Here are some specific
- questions I have:
-
- - Exactly what changes do I have to make to Space.c for an SMC Elite
- 16T?
-
- - Do I have to run named locally? Why or why not?
-
- - How important is the router argument to config? I know it is not
- there for decoration, but I am unaware of any router on my subnet.
- Would I need a router to telnet from 128.189.39.153 to 128.189.39.130
- given that my nameserver is on 128.189.32.1?
-
- - Is my network (-n) argument correct (128.189.39.0) given my above setup?
-
- - Am I missing anything (or any other information that might help you
- help me?
-
-
- Thanks for any help you can give me. I am sorry this message is so
- long.
