I've followed all the directions that came with the SLIP 920506 package and I'm running 2.1 extended and using Mamakos' SLIP package (nice package by the way). When I get the proper IP address and complete host name (all four parts of the name, not just the first) in NetManager and reboot, SLIP comes up and connects with the SLIP server. But then the windowserver says it's sleeping and then it says it can't find a port. SLIP, meanwhile, seems to be connected fine and doing some data transfer (I can see both send and receive lights flashing) of some kind. I don't know what it's trying to do. I just get continuous messages saying windowserver is sleeping or it cannot find some port. I never get a login window. Also, before any of this happens, the machine puts up the 'can't find parent NetInfo server, press 'c' to continue without parent server' prompt, even though i configured the machine (in NetMgr) to be a non-netinfo machine. If I hit 'c' it continues up to the point I describe above. Could someone help me to get SLIP running? Any help you could provide will be most appeciated. Thanks. -- -- Jeff (jeffo@uiuc.edu) -- No NeXTmail please
