Hi All!
Firstly. Please don't laugh.. I know this is something little and stupid
that I just can't see.
My Mac can't see my linux box. :'(
I have compiled and running (I hope!) netatalk 1.4b2 on my linux box,
which also is allready in use as a NFS file/print server by dosboxes,
and as an SMB server by wintel boxes. (and FWIW as a kermit server by a
varied bunch of old 6502/Z80 based machines!)
ps shows the various programs running, and no nasty errors are being
logged. So I have assumed the linux end of things to be happy.
My only apple with Ethernet is an SE running system 6.0summit, fitted
with a Kinetics Etherport SE. This works fine as an appletalk (via
serial ports) client off my quadra 700 running System 7.1 (which doesn't
have an ethernet txvr yet) I can't upgrade the SE to system 7 as the
etherport's driver doesn't work with System 7.
Does system 6 work as a client from a netatalk box?
Something I have made no mention of is addresses.. This is because I
haven't got a clue what they are for, and have left things as they come
from the box. both/all computers are effectively on a single segment of
ethernet. I don't have an appletalk router.
Can anyone recommend a doc i can ftp/http on appletalk
zones/names/addresses? I've only used MacTCP/Netscape on ethernet
connected macs before, and appletalk on non-ethernetted macs. Both times
have been poke/hope/bingo.
Any hints much appreciated.
TIA!
M.
