setting up AmiTCP/PPP
Having trouble setting up AmiTCP 3.0b2 and PPP 1.30
Made my own logon script (modified one of the ones that came with InterInstall
1.51), and everything seems to log in okay, but nothing works.
For example, when I try to ping my DNS, I get:
6.Ram_Disk:> ping 204.225.39.2
PING 204.225.39.2 (204.225.39.2): 56 data bytes
ping: sendto: Can't assign requested address
ping: wrote 204.225.39.2 64 chars, ret=-1
I have a fixed IP address for my computer, and changed the interinstall.rexx
script to put my IP address in envarc:sana2/ppp0.config instead of 0.0.0.0
Also, noticed what may be a type in interinstall.rexx when it makes
envarc:IPMODEMPORT. The line:
call writeln("B",devicename||" "||unit)
should be (I think):
call writeln("B",devicename||" "||devicenumber)
I am not sure what I should use for DOMAIN in the interinstall script. Right
now I am using "marathon.lakeheadu.ca" – my email is
jordan@marathon.lakeheadu.ca, and this is also the name for my mail, newsgroup,
local home page, etc… on the provider's local server.
The comments about setting up internet stuff on Window machine being
significantly easier definitely ring true!
