The 3000 only has a ring adaptor. So the 660 is required as the TCP/IP ethernet gateway for our large :-) two node ring. Only problem is, TCP/IP on the 660 can't see the ethernet controler, and I am uncertain if it is the 10.2 software, or our card broke. The entire mess worked fine with 10.1. The symptoms are: ifconfig eth0 netmask 0xfffffe00 fails to bring the ethernet interface up to an status as normally reported by 'ifconfig eth0'. When tcpd is run in debug mode it complains that /dev/ethernet0 device is non existant, but /etc/mkdev /sys/dev all does not create such a device on the 660. Question: Does anyone out there have a 660 that is acting as a gateway running 10.2. If so, how did you get the node to act as a gateway. I have no luck. Second, if it turns out to be a hardware problem, does anyone know how to run the diagnostics for the ethernet card on a 660? Our Multibus-ethercard documentation mentions files that are not present in the 10.2 distribution. -any ideas/suggestions will be greatly appreciated -dennis -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- four more, three, two, ...
