#Help setting up AmiTCP?
14 messages in this thread
I was wondering if anyone out there has been able to get AmiTCP to work
with a slip connection. I am trying to use it here at OSU to run Mosaic
and I also would like to try an X server that I have seen running around.
Unfortunately, when I try to use it, it doesn't work. I am successfully
using AmigaNOS every day with no problem.
Any assistance would be appreciated!

comp.sys.amiga.datacomm will likely get you more helpful answers more
quickly. Especially if you post some detail about what your problem is.
I used AmiTCP only briefly, and that was about a year ago.

What errors are you getting when you try and do the SLIP connection?
Steve
Steve,
-I get this error in the newly opened window:
Fri Jan 21 13:21:34 1994 [err ]: OpenDevice: Device or unit failed to
open
-Here is what I get in the shell that I run StartNet from:
ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCGIFFLAGS): no such interface
add host matrix.magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu: gateway localhost
add net default: gateway 128.146.214.1: Network is unreachable
-Here is a copy of my StartNet:
run AmiTCP:AmiTCP
WaitForPort AMITCP
Wait 2 secs
; configure loop-back device
AmiTCP:bin/ifconfig lo/0 localhost
; Configure Devs:Networks/rhcslip.device unit 0
AmiTCP:bin/ifconfig Devs:Networks/rhcslip.device/0 128.146.214.181 netmask
25; Add route to this host AmiTCP:bin/route add
matrix.magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu localhost
; Add route to the default gateway
AmiTCP:bin/route add default 128.146.214.1
Assign TCP: Exists > NIL:
IF Warn
Mount TCP: from dh0:devs/Inet-Mountlist
EndIf
Maybe I just don't know what I'm doing but I thought I had set it up
like I have NOS. I change the IP address each time I call in and get
the SLIP connection since it is different each time… still no
luck. Any light you can shed on this one would be much appreciated.
I have a friend here that is interested in connecting also.
Sounds like it is unable to find rhcslip.device where it belongs (in
Devs:Networks/rhcslip.device) or can't open it because something else
has a hold on the serial port or you need 2.0 and only have 1.3 or…
I dunno, Dale. I wasn't using the serial port in any other software.
I use Terminus to dial in and then quit terminus after I copy the
IP. The rhcslip.device is in devs:networks… any other ideas?
What OS are you using?

Damn. I don't know why in the world you might have trouble opening the
device. Unless there is some configuration file that it (the device)
expects to find but can't.

Pardon me for jumping in…late (and not having your original question
in my history for some reason). I had a couple 'blems setting up
AmiTCP but, I've got it set up for a dynamic CSLIP connection now. If
you're still having 'blems…
Have you typed the "offline" command once the terminus session has ended,
but before you tried to start the network?
Steve
Steve,
Haven't tried the offline command… I'll try it…

First, make sure that your modem isn't hanging up the line once you've
dialed in and quit your terminal program.
Also, have you put the rhcslip.device into the envarc:sana2 directory?
Steve
Steve,
The rhcslip.device is in devs:networks directory… should I move it?
