"can't read my ip address" And I guess it stalls for about 60 secs ? I think it tries for a minute to get your IPaddr via DHCP, but I guess thats obvious. Try the following line for your /rc/bin/termrc: ip/ipconfig -g 195.182.167.1 ether /net/ether0 add your_ip your_netmask >>[2]/tmp/ipconfig.debug.log > I am a little class 16 at the end of an ISDN leased line. If I understand correctly, your netmask is a /28 ? Anyway, replace the netmask above with whatever your windows machine uses as it's netmask, and I think it should work. /tmp/ipconfig.debug.log should contain any errors or warnings. - pip --upas-dysbotvmjjqbxbckgwzerqzxoq Content-Type: message/rfc822 Content-Disposition: inline Return-Path: Received: from cse.psu.edu (claven.cse.psu.edu [130.203.3.50]) by invincible.cnchost.com id SAA20187; Sun, 9 Jul 2000 18:49:53 -0400 (EDT) [ConcentricHost SMTP MX 1.15] Errors-To: Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by cse.psu.edu (8.8.8/8.8.8) with SMTP id SAA18066; Sun, 9 Jul 2000 18:49:51 -0400 (EDT) Received: by claven.cse.psu.edu (bulk_mailer v1.5); Sun, 9 Jul 2000 18:49:48 -0400 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by cse.psu.edu (8.8.8/8.8.8) id SAA18046 for 9fans-outgoing; Sun, 9 Jul 2000 18:49:44 -0400 (EDT) X-Authentication-Warning: claven.cse.psu.edu: majordom set sender to owner-9fans using -f Received: from pw001.proweb.co.uk (root@pw001.proweb.co.uk [195.182.164.1]) by cse.psu.edu (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id SAA18042 for <9fans@cse.psu.edu>; Sun, 9 Jul 2000 18:49:39 -0400 (EDT) Received: from lorry (lorry.lucid.proweb.net [195.182.167.2]) by pw001.proweb.co.uk (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id XAA08485 for <9fans@cse.psu.edu>; Sun, 9 Jul 2000 23:49:47 +0100 (GMT/BST) Message-ID: <008b01bfe9f7$5ae95be0$02a7b6c3@lucid.proweb.net> From: "Matt" To: <9fans@cse.psu.edu> References: <200007092146.RAA08961@smtp2.fas.harvard.edu> Subject: Re: [9fans] planning an installation Date: Sun, 9 Jul 2000 23:45:13 +0100 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.00.2919.6600 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.00.2919.6600 Sender: owner-9fans@cse.psu.edu Precedence: bulk Hi, thanks to Kevin, Ross & pip for helping.

I am a little class 16 on the end of an ISDN leased line. I have a router/gateway here (195.182.167.1) that connects to my ISP I use their DNS 195.182.164.1 I've been using Windows on my home systems. I've got shell accounts at the ISP. My knowledge of TCP/IP is rudementary I hope it's not plan 10 by the time i get going Matt --upas-dysbotvmjjqbxbckgwzerqzxoq--
