I am still trying to experiment with it. I am getting the additional cards next week. I built the following autoexec.nos in the root directory: hostname grumpy.ucop.edu attach packet 0x65 nt1 3 1500 ifconfig nt1 netmask 0xffffff00 ip 128.48.103.18 broadcast 128.48.103.255 route add 128.48.103.0/24 nt1 route add default nt1 # # incorporate the local nameserver for lookups # domain addserver [128.48.100.91] #nile # # for broadcasts to work! # arp add 128.48.103.255 ether ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff # some standard parameters ip ttl 16 tcp mss 216 tcp window 1500 # # start up the servers # start telnet start smtp start ftp start echo start discard start rip # # start up rip hosts, seed from the backbone router and then pass on # everything that we learn! # rip request 128.48.100.91 rip add 128.48.100.91 60 # refresh must be less than 3 minutes Q: can 1 use the names autoexec.nos and autoexec.net interchangeably ?? The problem is I have to give the IP adresses, when I am ftp'ing. What do I have to do to be able to use names instead of IP adresses ?? Thanks in advance, Camille opschk@ganges.ucop.edu, 415 987 03 62
