Lines: 23 Message-ID: <4aciej$jgm@excalibur.pubserv.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: excalibur.pubserv.com Hi. I am trying to set up a BSD machine (2.0.1) to act as a Slip server. I have sliplogin set as the shell for a user slip1, and a Macintosh using InterSlip seems to connect properly. I can use NCSA telnet to get to the BSD server, but whenever I try to connect to *ANY* other machine, be it local or remote, I get an error "Host or gateway not respoding." I know that the DNS server settings on the Mac are set properly, as Netscape will siccessfully report that it is "Looking up" a host, and then go to its "Connecting to host" label... and there it fails. The default Gateway on the Mac has been set to the Slip Server's address, *AND* to the BSD machines default gateway address... in both cases, the Mac fails to connect to any other hosts. Have I missed some setting to sliplogin somewhere? Or is there another command that I need to issue in the slip.login script? Thanks for any help you can give me! -- Aaron S.
