Wheeler) Newsgroups: comp.os.386bsd.questions Subject: My SLIP is showing! Works only at low level? Followup-To: comp.os.386bsd.questions Date: 28 Jul 1994 19:58:19 GMT Organization: Mass General Hospital, Boston Lines: 41 Sender: pipes@pipedream.mgh.harvard.edu Message-ID: <3192kr$ijr@nmr-z.mgh.harvard.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: pipedream.mgh.harvard.edu Summary: SLIP connection works for ping/finger, not telnet, ftp H E L P ! ! I'm configuring a SLIP connected FreeBSD 1.1.5.1R system via direct connection to a Xyplex MX1600 (rev 5.0.1) Terminal Server. A modem will be involved later, but not yet. The system can use the nameserver, ping and respond to pings, and can respond to finger requests. Higher level functions like telnet and ftp say they are connected, but then fail after a minute or two, without ever showing the login or username prompts: The telnet attempt looks like this: zone# telnet pipedream Trying 132.183.145.65... Connected to pipedream.mgh.harvard.edu. Escape character is '^]'. <long delay> Connection closed by foreign host. zone# The remote host netstat looks like this: pipedream# netstat Active Internet connections Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address (state) tcp 0 0 pipedream.telnet LAT926x.1026 SYN_RCVD etc ... The PC is a DECpc LPv+ 486sx/25, no ethernet card installed. I've reconfigured the system using the "SLIP" faq from gatekeeper.dec.com, with identical results. Any ideas? -- Robert A.
