#Envoy Works!!!!!
3 messages in this thread
Dale,
I stuck the old FTP into the newer TCP/IP today (it works!) and got
both machines SanaII compatible today. At 4:45PM I decided to install
Envoy. At 5:05PM I had Envoy up and running on both machines. The LJ4M
exported with no problem and the few directories I exported checked out
too. It was DEFINITELY a piece of cake compared to installing and
configuring TCP/IP. Perceived speed seemed decent. And it was soooooo
Smoooooooth setting it up. The installer and the manual made it easy.
Now if I could just get rid of those startup bitches like "wrong number
of arguments" or something like "2nd ethernet controller not configured"
and "User set to Nobody" when I start TCP/IP. Gosh I'm dumb!

I'm glad that everything with Amiga Envoy went smoothly for you and that
you are happy with the product!
To help debug your AS225 setup (and any other script-based stuff), you
might try putting a "set echo on" at the begining of the
inet:s/start-inet. That way you can at least see what lines are causing
the problems.
"2nd ethernet controller not configured" may mean that you have a second
A2065 in that machine. Comment out those lines in inet:s/start-inet or
decide how you want the script to configure the second board.
"User set to Nobody" probably means that you haven't edited user= in
inet:s/inet.config.
P.S. Since you are using a 4M, this might affect you: I recently noticed
somethign about PostScript printing on the Amiga. Most applications that
can generate PS will only do so to ser, par, or file. Output has to go to
prt in order to be redirected over the network. With the PS printer
driver (with passthrough) in 2.1 and up, they should be allowing PS to
prefs printer as an option.

Dale,
I try setting echo on to nail down what lines are being complained
about. I do not have a second ethernet ethernet card in either machine and
both complain about the same thing? Maybe I will just comment out those
lines. I think my inet.config says "user=mark". Should there be a space
there? The old AS225 never complained about any of this stuff!?
Pagestream prints to PRT: with its own driver and works OK …. except
it doesn't seem to do a form feed when job is sent from the client. I
didn't have time to try this much today so I'm not 100% sure about this
one. The page doesn't print until another print job is sent from client or
server. Just sending to Prefs printer and Laserjet works fine; in fact
Deskjet (an oops) worked OK. The Client has a Deskjet. I'll work on this
more this weekend. I haven't hit an app that demands par: yet. I also have
ProPage and Finalcopy but haven't tried them yet.
One time the printer was off and a job was sent from client. A
requestor came up on the server saying printer trouble. I turned the
printer on and it printed OK! Yeah, we push the limits (of stupidity) at
our place.
