Hello world!

I have a problem installing an ethernet connection between my DOS machine and
the Linux box. On the Dos machines, which are also in a novell network, I have
installed odipkt and tried to use CUTCP as well as TEL2305.

my NET.CFG looks like this:

Link Driver 3C505
        DMA  5
        PORT 300
        INT 9
        FRAME Ethernet_802.3
        FRAME Ethernet_II

NetWare DOS Requester
           FIRST NETWORK DRIVE = F
           USE DEFAULTS = OFF
           VLM = CONN.VLM
           VLM = IPXNCP.VLM
           VLM = TRAN.VLM
           VLM = SECURITY.VLM
        ;  VLM = NDS.VLM
           VLM = BIND.VLM
           VLM = NWP.VLM
           VLM = FIO.VLM
           VLM = GENERAL.VLM
           VLM = REDIR.VLM
           VLM = PRINT.VLM
           VLM = NETX.VLM

splayc=no       # (no) ack. splay compression w/ vjc.. don't

netmask=255.255.255.0  #  needed if not using BOOTP.

        ## Also, the fewer suffixes in the domainslist
        ## the less time you will have to wait if you mis-type an entry.
        ## Finally, try not to use a suffix like   .  or .edu or .com this will
        ## waste a lot of time looking for a bogus host name if you mis-type an entry.

I think on the DOS side of the connection everything works, but that's just
a guess.

On the Linux box I have a SLIP connection running, with ip nr 130.161.97.21
This is only a node address. I got no subnetwork assigned.

The local network I called 1.2.3.0. with 1.2.3.4 for the linux box and
1.2.3.100 for one of the dos machines.

My rc.net looks like this:

PATH=$PATH:/usr/net/bin
ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0 broadcast 127.255.255.255
route add 127.0.0.1
ifconfig eth0 1.2.3.4 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 1.2.3.255
route add -net 1.2.3.0 gw 1.2.3.4
