#Ethernet/ENLANDFS Quest.
5 messages in this thread
I have friend whos got an AMIGA and we're trying to connect it to an SGI INDY.
He has an Ethernet Plus board from Creative Equipment Intern'l and is using
ENLANDFS V2.0 to connect to the SGI.
He's stumped and I'm only a UNIX/PC kind-of-guy. Where do we start? The
documentation "stinks" and it's the weekend. I've offered to post this question
here in the hope that some generous AMIGA user with similar experience will
post some kind of an answer.
I'm not sure if this is the right place for this question. Please point me in
the right direciton if its not.
Is Enlan DFS a peer to peer package or an internetworking package?
You need something that has a real TCP/IP stack. (There is a copy of
AmiTCPV3 (beta) available on the internet, so that might be one solution.)
Anyway, once you've set your addresses, etc, then all you need is the
clients, such as telnet and ftp, and you are home free. There is an X
clone for the Amiga as well, but I haven't found it yet in all my hunting!
Good luck, and sorry I can't be more help.

Tried ftp'ing ftp.cdrom.com lately?

Enlan DFS isn't TCP/IP. Commodore sold a TCP/IP for a while. One beta of it
included NFS client/server, which would let you mount drives on either system,
but unfortunately it was never released. The released version did include NFS
client software, which would let you see the Indy's drives on the Amiga.
Either way, you can always use 'rcp' and 'ftp' to move files.
I've got my Amiga on a TCP/IP network linked to an Indigo, a Windows for
Workgroups machine, a Windows NT machine, a Macintosh, and for a while had a
MIPS WinNT machine on the network, too. Ask away! Unfortunately, I'm using
that unreleased CBM TCP/IP beta, so I'm not very familiar with the AmiTCP
freely distributable TCP/IP that you can find here in the library. However,
I'm sure it's quite Unix-like, meaning you need to set up your hosts files and
soon after, it should work…
AmiTCP and AS225r2 are more alike than they are different — they are both
BSD-derived. Only niggly details (easily accounted for) are different.
