Hi,
Well the time came to get SLIP
up and running. First I tried winsock 2.0b
and a after a few fiddles got it running nicely.
Then came time to get BSD2.0 up but after several
hours of "network is down" I am not sure
what to try next. Below is the printout
of my netstat and ifconfig attacks and
a few comments.
As you can see after the ping (8 & 9 below)
the route was used but the netstat -i shows
that no packets made it to the sl1 device
(also no tx led on the modem).
ifconfig shows the interface as up
and enabled (6 below).
tcpdump also confirms the attachment
and the lack of packets at the sl1
device.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Jon
