Recently, I decided to bring it from the world of the forgotten and connect it to the net. As of now, it is physically connected to the net, has an IP number, and has some basic network capabilities. However, I still cannot telnet/ftp/whatever to other sites by providing their names; only by giving their IP addresses I can do so. nslookup works happily, BTW. Using netstat -i gives the following result: raub@kushana: tcsh 28> netstat -i Name Mtu Network Address Ipkts Ierrs Opkts Oerrs Coll ln0 1500 128.227.42 kushana 206353 6 7358 0 46 lo0 1536 loop localhost 701 0 701 0 0 raub@kushana: tcsh 29> where kushana is the name of the machine. I should mention here that this machine does not have many useful manuals and our sysadmin is out for the next 2 weeks so that I can't use his. I am open for suggestions.
