Hello,
I have been trying to configure a SLIP connection to my employer and have
been experiencing problems. As stated in the subject, I am running
NetBSD 0.9, and I do the following as per the FAQ:
- in /etc/hosts I add the following
11.22.33.44 my_machine.domain.name client
44.33.22.11 name_server.domain.name host
(note: I added /etc/defaultdomain to be that of my employer's since
I didn't have a domain name.)
- in /etc/resolv I add the following
domain my_machine.domain.name
nameserver 44.33.22.11
- I dial in using tip com1 and put tip in the background by typing
~!
- slattach /dev/com1
- ifconfig sl0 inet my_machine.domain.name name_server.domain.name \
netmask 0xffffff00
- route add default name_server.domain.name
I get a message which says name_server: bad value after the route
command.
The gateway at work and the name server are not the same machines.
Has anyone had any experience setting up SLIP to a similar configuration
who might be able to help?
Thanks in advance.
Rafael
