*********************************************************************
* 13. Setting up AmiTCP 3.0b2 - Fixing the startnet *
* *
*********************************************************************
When they 'released' the 3.0b2 they made some changes to the way
things are handled in the AmiTCP:bin/startnet file, BUT thay have not
updated the Installer yet.... (very soon !!)
Here is my starnet ......
(the comments *NOTE*, won't be there!)
run AmiTCP:AmiTCP
WaitForPort AMITCP
; configure loop-back device
AmiTCP:bin/ifconfig lo0 127.0.0.1
^^^-NOTE 'lo/0' has changes to lo0
; Configure Devs:Networks/rhslip.device unit 0
AmiTCP:bin/ifconfig slip0 inet 192.0.2.1 192.100.81.101 netmask 255.255.255.0
^^^^^^^^^^-NOTE 'Devs:Networks/rhslip.device unit 0'
has changes to slip0 inet
; Add route to this host
AmiTCP:bin/route -v add amiga1.netcom.com localhost
; Add route to the default gateway
AmiTCP:bin/route -v add default 192.100.81.101
^^NOTE-I added these to print-out errors
if anything went wrong!
Assign TCP: Exists > NIL:
IF Warn
Mount TCP: from AmiTCP:devs/Inet-Mountlist
EndIf
LOOK AT THE NOTE changes.... there are a total of 4
the: lo/0 --> lo0
Devs:Networks/rhslip.device unit 0 --> slip0 inet
And (2 times) -v
Ok now that's fixed, edit the file: AmiTCP:db/interfaces
This is where you tell AmiTCP what networking hardware is available
AND where to find the driver for it.......
find the line : slip dev=devs:networks/slip.device
and change it to : slip dev=devs:networks/rhslip.device
OK all done....... Oh.. If you want to use the script to shutdown
AmiTCP (stopnet) copy the file rexxc:rx to AmiTCP:bin
This seems to make it work!
That should be it..... Time to reboot!
If this set up does not work the files that you might need to change
are: AmiTCP:bin/startnet
AmiTCP:db/interfaces
AmiTCP:db/netdb-myhost
ENV:HOSTNAME & ENVARC:HOSTNAME
