Setting up a home LAN with NEXSTEP/Unix
 
I'm trying to setup a local area network in my house using my
NEXTSTEP machine.  I want to have the NEXTSTEP machine be a UNIX host
machine, and let all of the other computers in the house telnet in
over ethernet to use shell accounts.
 
I have a Mac II and a Mac Quadra 700, both on ethernet, and they both
have MacTCP 2.0.4.  I also have a DOS machine on ethernet, but I
don't care about that one as much.  The ethernet network is a simple
daisy chain, terminated at both ends.
 
MacTCP wants an IP address for its machine, a gateway address for
routing, whether to obtain the address manually, dynamically, or from
a server, and a subnet mask (net, subnet and node).  It also wants
domain name servers, but that doesn't seem to be manditory.  I
haven't been able to figure out the right numbers to put in.  The IP
address for my NEXTSTEP machine is 192.187.157.37.  I also run SLIP
on it to do e-mail.
 
All that I want to do is run NCSA Telnet and FTP so that my Macs can
access my NeXT machine.  I can't get either application to work.  The
NeXT machine wont respond.  I don't want to run something like Novell
(overkill for me).  I want to connect all the machines with TCP/IP
and make the NeXT machine the central machine.
 
Is this something very complicated to do?  Can anyone help me? 
 
Please?
 
Thanks,
