Date: Sun 11-May-1989 16:40:13 From: Unknown Subject: static routing workaround We have a cube on a class-B subnet with a gateway that doesn't speak RIP. To get the 0.9 release to network properly, we had to: 1. edit /etc/hostconfig by hand, and enter the appropriate values for ROUTER (the ip address of our gateway), and IPNETMASK. 2. edit /etc/rc, and change line 107 from: /usr/etc/route add default $ROUTER 0 >/dev/console 2>&1 /usr/etc/route add default $ROUTER 1 >/dev/console 2>&1 3. edit /etc/rc.boot, and change line 88 from: /usr/etc/ifconfig en0 $INETADDR -trailers up >/dev/console 2>&1 /usr/etc/ifconfig en0 $INETADDR netmask $IPNETMASK -trailers up >/dev/console 2>& NeXT is converging on easy network configuration, but isn't there yet...
