HELP! I am trying to set up amitcp 4.0 demo to work with the ppp.device 1_23 unregistered. I run the startnet script, ppp0's dialscript logs me into the service and then ppp0 goes offline. My equipment setup is an a2000-68000 with ados 3.1, a gvpio extender and supra v.32 for serial connection. If anyone has this setup working, please give me a hint as to what i might do to get it to work. thanks, John

John, I don't know if this solution will work with the 4.0 demo version. I have the 4.1 registered version and had the same problems as you before… Now there are an new version of bootpconfig in kampi.hut.fi called bpc15.lha You'll find it in the AmiTCP directory. You have to rename (or delete the "old" bootpconfig in /bin) and copy the new one in the same directory. Now it should work ….

John, Can you give me some help on how to install the ppp.device? I'm also trying to get Amitcp 4.0 up and running, but the installation instruction for ppp seem to be vague. Maybe I'm missing the point. Thanks for your help. Mark… autopilot engaged! mlapenna@free.org

Though I kinda deleted my original PPP/AmigaTCP StartNet script, what follows is what I had working. Note I was using PPP's dialer feature to first connect to my IP. <Begin> echo echo "login: djmccoy" amitcp:bin/login -f djmccoy AmiTCP:bin/online ppp0 run AmiTCP:AmiTCP WaitForPort AMITCP ; Configure loop-back device AmiTCP:bin/ifconfig lo0 localhost ; Configure ppp0 AmiTCP:bin/ifconfig ppp0 $ppp0IPLocal $ppp0IPRemote ; Add route to this host AmiTCP:bin/route add $ppp0IPLocal localhost ; Add route to the default gateway AmiTCP:bin/route add default $ppp0IPRemote SetEnv HOSTNAME `AmiTCP:bin/hostname` Assign >NIL: TCP: EXISTS IF WARN Mount TCP: FROM AmiTCP:devs/inet-mountlist EndIF ; Start the internet `super server' Run <NIL: >NIL: AmiTCP:bin/inetd <End> This would dial the the IP using PPP's built in dialer and use the environment variables it set up with my dynamic address as well as the IP's address. AmiTCP 4.1 and PPP V1.30 (and V1.23 for that matter), along with a new bootpconfig is working perfectly with the StartNet script created when installing 4.1. Good luck, Dan Daniel J.

Dan, I guess that the StartNet script goes into the start-up sequence or user-start-up? Sorry, that I don't know. By the way, where did you get AmiTCP 4.1? Thanks for the help. Mark… autopilot engaged! mlapenna@free.org
