The generation of my new boot-floppy was done with the included Makefiles without any problems and my system came up immediately. The included examples server1/client1 and server2/client2 are running local on one PC successfully but I could not run them between two different PC's. Ethernet-cards are installed on both PC's and when booting, the hardware-address is shown on the screen by the minix system. When I started the examples server1/client1 on one machine, I used the other PC to monitor the the ethernet with "NETWATCH", here are the 4 broadcast messages I observed on the net: 0040 FFFF FFFF FFFF 0000 C0CD A517 8145 FF00 E 0050 0000 0000 1E00 0001 7879 7A00 0000 7624 xyz v$ 0060 0F0F 0F0F 2F1F 0F0F 4949 4949 4959 4B49 / IIIIIYKI 0070 71F0 E0E8 F890 F8E0 DCB7 B6B3 3D00 3C00 q = < 0080 FFFF FFFF FFFF 0000 C0CD A517 8145 FF00 E 0090 0000 0000 1E00 0001 7879 7A00 0000 7624 xyz v$ 00A0 0F0F 0F0F 2F1F 0F0F 4949 4949 4959 4B49 / IIIIIYKI 00B0 71F0 E0E8 F890 F8E0 DCB7 B6B3 3C00 3C00 q < < 00C0 FFFF FFFF FFFF 0000 C0CD A517 8145 FF00 E 00D0 0000 0000 1E00 0001 7879 7A00 0000 7624 xyz v$ 00E0 0F0F 0F0F 2F1F 0F0F 4949 4949 4959 4B49 / IIIIIYKI 00F0 71F0 E0E8 F890 F8E0 DCB7 B6B3 3C00 3C00 q < < When running only client1 on a machine, I had exspected to see at least one broadcast message on the net, but nothing appeared. Has anyone similar problems or any idea to fix this network problem? Does the amoeba software find all hardware attributes of my ethernet-card automatically? When using network software under MS-DOS, all programs require data about interrupt level (0x3), io-address (0x280) and memory-address (0xd000), have I forgotten something during system generation? Any help and hints are appreciated. Hans-Juergen Knobloch, (TH Darmstadt, Germany)
