Hi everybody,
I have a problem with slip between a 486dx4 (lisa) and a 386sx 16mhz
(sparky). When the 2 machines are booted up i type the following at the
root prompt on lisa:
slattach -p cslip -s 9600 /dev/cua0
ifconfig sl0 193.190.210.1 pointopoint 193.190.210.2
route add 193.190.210.2 sl0
the following is typed on the console of sparky:
slattach -p cslip -s 9600 /dev/cua0
ifconfig sl0 193.190.210.2 pointopoint 193.190.210.1 up
route add 193.190.210.1 sl0
Lisa is also server for a ethernet network, it is used as an nfs server
for a few pc's. This works ok, no problem with the ethernet.
But big problems for the slip connection !
i try the following: ping sparky
this works fine no problem.
But ! when i try ftp sparky, i get a login prompt, password etc...
i can change directories but when i do ls -l the following strange
behaviour appears.
After an amount of text displayed on my screen, the connection is broken.
When i look on sparky all seems to be ok , ifconfig route, are intact
but they are not on lisa ! sl0 disappeared, also the routing information
about sl0 is gone. The ethernet remains ok ! no problem for that
The only thing to set up the connection again is killing the slattach
proces on lisa and restart slattach, reconfigure sl0 etc..
But after that the same problem as above ! I have this also with telnet,
ping -f , .....
e.g. telnet : login , password works ok , but after some time same thing
sl0 is gone ?! Everything on sparky remains ok, lisa is always the
problem ?!
I tried to slow down the transmission speed to 2400 baud.
There it took a longer time before sl0 was broken.
What could the solution ? anyone an idea ? If you can help me please !
