-
- the problem was with the interphase board not handling multicast
- packets correctly. djh@munnari.oz.au suggested this may be the
- problem, and it was. i talked with interphase, and they were already
- hot onto the problem, and had a solution for me within a couple of
- days.
-
- the solution was to install version 2.1.2 of the NC software, and then
- install the 2.1.2.p1 patch that fixes the multicast problem. NC 2.1.2
- requires SunOS 4.1.2 or 4.1.3. i installed the software successfully
- on a 4/690 running SunOS 4.1.2 and the cap software started working.
- we have a 4/490 running 4.1.1 that i need to upgrade before being able
- to put the new NC software on.
-
- to get the new software for your interphase board, you can contact
- interphase at 1-800-FAST-NET.
