PCLink over Ethernet

[Thomas Karlsen]

Hi,

After a successful compilation of ideservd for osx and connection with the IDE64 through USB, I wanted to see if it also works with ethernet.

My goal is to connect my Mac mini that's located on the same switch as my RR-net module on the IDE64. I have started ideservd with the ETH option enabled and so on (modified the go-eth script).

No luck so far though. The manual talks about a cross link cable. Does that mean it won't support a switched network with the devices placed on the same subnet?

Anyone here who use their PCLink over Ethernet?

Hi,

It works with switch on the same subnet as Mac OS X.

Did you use the patched ideservd that I'm hosting at

Hi,

Yes, I use the patch version from you. 

Perhaps something is wrong with the go-eth script?

#!/bin/sh

killall ideservd 2>/dev/null

C64_IP=10.0.1.199

C64_NET=00

ifconfig eth1 10.0.1.12

mkdir /tmp/pclink; chmod 1777 /tmp/pclink

arp -s $C64_IP 5A:6D:8F:31:33:$C64_NET

exec ./ideservd --root=/tmp/pclink --user nobody --group nogroup --ipaddress $C64_IP --mode=eth --network 0x$C64_NET $@

# --log /dev/tty5 $@

Greetings,
I'm using the IDE64 along with the ETH64 card, my IDE64 is an older version (long one, no cf), and with the help of Soci the firmware was patched so that it would work.


Have you verified that eth1 is NIC that is connected to the same switch as the C64 ?
Have you verified that 00 ($C64:NET) is indeed the lsat byte of the MAC address and that the other numbers also match?

If these are correct, try and use a direct-connection as your switch MAY (for reasons I couldn't explain) not be directing the packet to your C64 ethernet port.
