Subject: Question on network setup
Date: Thu, 10 Aug 1995 16:46:02 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <19950810204602.uHl5mG-3bKdFdcWpAewA48ra_jIaMPWNXMVyRIDcRak@z> (raw)

When my 486 boots, it prints out an error message that I need to
edit /ndb/local and reboot.  Having done that many times, it's clear
something else is wanted.  Also, /ndb/cs does not set sysname and the
local tcp network isn't available.  However, if I tell ip/ipconfig what
the ip address of my machine is by way of a command line argument, the
/ndb/local error message goes away, the network is accessible, and I
just have to mount #P and poke some routes at iproute.

Is there something I should do so the initial setup (aside from the routing)
happens automagically as the error message seems to imply?  (Gateway 486,
enet board WD8013EPC)
