Keywords: 386bsd0.1, net, ifconfig, inet Message-ID: <t=cm2q.kwan@netcom.com> Date: 20 Jul 92 02:36:32 GMT Organization: Netcom - Online Communication Services (408 241-9760 guest) Lines: 21 Does anyone successfully getting 386bsd0.1 onto the ethernet, so far? After getting the bindist installed completely on hard disk, I got a binaries only complete 386bsd system. I try connecting the box into the net(it's a ethernet, with a mix of large number of Suns and other workstations). Transceiver+ patch cable were all connected, BTW, I'm using wd8003e (irq 9). Light indicator on the transceiver looks OK, receiving is blinking, so packets are passing thru. I look into the /etc/netstart, seems like some line which need to enable the networking are being commented out. I try start the ifconfig manually... ifconfig we0 inet 192.70.173.80 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.70.173.0 I also add several existing entries on the /etc/hosts (Suns on the net). Got no luck so far pinging any of the hosts. WHat have I done wrong? Is there any documentation on setting it up on a ethernet? try ifconfig we0, and this is what I got: we0: flags=863<up,broadcast,notrailers,running> inet 192.70.173.80 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.70.173.0 There's no subnetting on the ethernet. Any help/clue would be appreciated. Kwan-Seng Low
