Serial Networking: Configuring !Internet v4
|
1) Locate the !Internet application, and open its directory. 2) In that directory there should be a file called !Configure. Open it, and make the following modifications: |
|
 |
(i)
Underneath the section labelled as:
Inet$HostName, modify the Set
Inet$HostName to: Set Inet$HostName riscpc. |
 |
(ii)
Underneath the section labelled as:
Inet$EtherIPAddr, modify the Set
Inet$EtherIPAddr to: Set Inet$EtherIPAddr <Inet$HostName>. |
 |
(iii)
Underneath the section labelled as:
Inet$EtherIPMask, modify the Set
Inet$EtherIPMask to: Set Inet$EtherIPMask 255.255.255.0 |
 |
(iv)Underneath the section
labelled as: Inet$EtherDevice, modify the
Set Inet$EtherDevice to: Set Inet$EtherDevice PPP |
 |
(v) You
will also need a section to initialise the Name
Resolver. Type in the following:
|Name resolver You may notice that there are a couple of extra IP addresses in the second line. If you connect your RISC OS computer to the Internet you will need to input the IP addresses for your ISP's DNS Server here. If you don't connect to the internet, then you don't need to have those IP addresses. |
 |
(vi) You
will also need to intitalise the PPP module. Type in
the following: RMEnsure PPP 0 RMLoad System:Modules.Network.PPP Set Inet$PPP$IPAddr <Inet$HostName> Set Inet$PPP$LinkIPAddr 192.168.1.2 Set Inet$PPP$IPMask 255.255.255.0 |
|
3) Save and close !Configure. |
|
|
4) Now open the directory called files. Open the file called Startup, and make the following modifications: |
|
 |
(i)
Underneath the line | Bring the loopback interface
up, modify the | from the start of the line: IF "<Inet$Error>" = "" THEN ifconfig -e lo0 loopback. |
 |
(ii) At the bottom of the file add the following line: route add host <Inet$HostName> 127.0.0.1 0 |
 |
5) In the
directory files, open the file
called Hosts, and add the following
lines, under the loopback entry, and save
the file:
192.168.1.1 riscpc.my.home riscpc |
|
6) The TCP/IP configuration is now complete. |
