Hi,
I have a Macintosh IIci happily running NetBSD 1.6. It is connected to
the Internet via cable modem on ae0. It is also connected to an Mac OS
X desktop on ae1 and a Windows 98 SE laptop on ae2.
I have followed the directions for ipnat and I can reach the Internet
from both the Mac OS X desktop and Windows 98 SE laptop. What I would
like to be able to do, is to reach the desktop from the laptop and vice
versa.
At the moment, I can ping ae1 from my Mac OS X desktop but neither ae2
or the Windows 98 SE laptop. From the Windows 98 SE laptop, I can ping
ae2, and stangely enough, ae1, but not the Mac OS X desktop. And of
course, I can ping both the desktop and laptop from the NetBSD box.
Thanks to previous help I received on this mailing list, I configured
my interfaces in this manner:
Macintosh IIci NetBSD 1.6
ae0 - configured via dhclient
ae1 - inet 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
ae2 - inet 192.168.0.9 netmask 255.255.255.248
Desktop Mac OS X
inet 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0
Laptop Windows 98 Se
inet 192.168.0.10 netmask 255.255.255.248
Have I correctly configured these interfaces? If I have, what do I
need to enable communication from the desktop and laptop between ae1
and ae2?
Another unrelated problem I'm having is that NetBSD refuses to
recognize half the memory installed in my Macintosh IIci. When NetBSD
1.5.3 was installed, I had 8MB of RAM but only 4MB were recognized.
Now that I have installed NetBSD 1.6 and 32MB of RAM, only 16MB are
recognized. Mac OS 7.6.1 has recognized the memory correctly in both
instances.
Any help on either of these subjects would really be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Rob
