qnet, ping, but no ftp...

Hi…

  1. Qnet works among two RTP6.1 machines, and I can also ping each
    machine. However, I can not use telnet or ftp. The file inetd.conf is
    standard with ftpd and telnetd lines uncomented such that both telnet
    and ftp should work. But the do not.

What am I missing?

  1. I am using dhcp on another machine, how could I see which is the
    assigned ip address to this machine?

  2. Is there an equivalent to nettrap that will tell me what I need to do
    as to set up the ethernet card with io-net in rc.local in the rc.d
    directory? I can get the driver going, but sometimes there might be
    some extra options that we may need/want to set.

Thanks…

Best Regards…

Miguel.

    On this “other” machine, issue the netstat -r command to see the local

routing table with explicit hostname. Run netstat -rn to see the same
table but with hostname replaced with IP address.

Did you start the “inetd” ? What is telnet said while failed.

ifconfig en0 or ifconfig -a or netstat -ni.

Not that I know. “pidin mem | grep devn” could give you an idea
of which driver is loaded. Take a look of /etc/system/enum/devices/net
you will have an idea what option enumerater is using.

I figured this too also, and this did it. I thought that this was
started automatically, but it is not. Thanks.

Thanks. As Bob said in the other message, netstat -r also works for
this.

I’ll give it a try. Thanks so much.


I do have another question. On my laptop when I do nicinfo, it shows
that the physical node id is FFFF… Evidently there are some problems
with the pcmcia card and this laptop. I tried setting the width to 8
via devp-pccard -w8,8 -l3 to no avail. Pin gives me the ioport and
irq. I have no connection to the outside world. :frowning: Any ideas?

Thanks…

Miguel.

I think you have to “slay io-net” and restart it with driver. Or,
you could go fix /etc/system/devices/bridge, change devp-pccard line
like “requires(devp-pccard -8,)”.

What’s the best place to start inetd at start up ??
