Need help to setup network with an A2065
Hi Amix aficionados,
I finally got hold of an A2065 network card for my A3000. I'm running Amix 2.1x + updates and patches (X11R5, Picasso, Ariadne, etc.). But I'm not able to figure out how to setup the network right. Here some steps I did: 1. I created two hosts via amixadm opt. 7: own machine IP: A3000 192.168.0.80 2nd machine: gateway 192.168.0.1 With that I'm able to ping all hosts in my lan 168.192.0.*, but none outside my network. Makes sense, as "netstat -r" confirmed that I have no route to the outside world. 2. I manually added a route with "route add default gateway 192.168.0.1". This works only if I have the gateway also in the /etc/hosts file. With that I can now ping the internet servers (via IP addresses only). But the route is gone after a reboot. So, were do I configure the gateway permanently in SVR4? I could put the above command line in some startup config file, but there is certainly a proper way to do this as it is originally intended. 3. How do I setup DNS correctly. I'm pretty sure that SVR4 supports DNS so that I don't have to populate my /etc/hosts file with hundreds of entries. Out of experience I created /etc/resolv.conf with two entries: nameserver 192.168.0.1 nameserver 8.8.8.8 (that's a public google one) But this doesn't seem to work. With "nslookup <server>" I get the following messages: *** Can't find server name for address 192.168.0.1: Not implemented *** Can't find server name for address 8.8.8.8: Timed out *** Default servers are not available But I'm able to ping both IPs. Not sure what's going on. I'm certainly missing something important. Any idea? Regards -Leo24 |
OK, after going through all scripts and config files in /etc, I think I found out how to setup the network correctly:
1. Configure with amixadm (opt. 7) the host IP and name + IP of the router. In my case (/etc/hosts): 127.1 localhost 192.168.0.1 router 192.168.0.80 A3000 2. Add route to gateway. Almost at the end of (/etc/inet/rc.inet): /usr/sbin/route add default router 1 (use the same name as in hosts files. I my case the name is "router".) Now the only remaining issue I have is setting up DNS. I have no idea how to make it work. Regards - Leo24 |

Thanks, Noth!
Unfortunately, the page is down and via web.archive.org the linked files are not available. I will have to figure it out for myself how to configure "named". By the way, I have another topic. On AmigaOS side the clock is set correctly, but Amix doesn't seam to like the date. I suppose it's an Y2K issue. Do you know if there is a patch for this issue? |

Ok I managed to get the relevant BIND named files off a jagubox mirror. You'll find them attached here, just unzip in / and all should be in place. The files are set up to work in WinUAE, but so far I can't get nslookup to work. Hopefully you'll have better results than I'm getting!

Thank you very much!
