I had a router change and needed to change the ip in some machines.
I have two machines on SCO Unix 3.2.4.2
I changed the IP in my chain(relinked kernel, used as default) and in /etc/hosts on both.
One is fine. The other I am unable to get to with putty.
Is there anything else I would need to change?
is the hardware as old as the operating system?
Check to see if there is a script in /etc/rc2.d that might set a default route.
Run 'netstat -nr' to confirm the network settings.
Check to see if the host name is recorded twice in /etc/hosts.
Can you ping the machine that does not respond to telnet.
With putty, are you attempting to access the host via name or ip address, and are you trying this locally or through the router?
If through the router, did you change the firewall/port forwarding settings?
When I setup the chain for the card does I/O base address matter?
When I resetup the chain for the other machine that is working, it did not ask for
the IRQ and I/O base. But the one that isn't accessible does ask for it.
You may have to run the setup.exe program in order to determine the i-o address and interrupt. And yes it does matter for ISA cards. D-LINK DE-220PCT USER MANUAL Pdf Download.
Thank you for that tip. I was using the wrong IRQ. On SCO 3.2.4.2 with that DLink card, I have to tell it which IRQ to use. There are a few that weren't in use, but I wasn't selecting the correct one. I finally got it on the correct one and it is working now. The other SCO box has a Realtek 8139 and it didn't ask me to assign the IRQ when I added the chain back for the network card.
Thank you for all of you help, jgt. I really appreciate it.
