Hi everyone,
I've finally given up and resorted to posting here.
I have an Uthernet card in slot 4 of my Apple II. I am wanting to use Contiki. I have the Uthernet card connoted to hub and that hub connects to an Apple Macintosh mac book that is sharing it's wireless network through the ethernet port.
I have tested that the sharing is working by connecting another Mac to the hub.
I used to have a similar setup working about 3 years ago before the Apple had to go into storage. Now I'm at a new place with a new network and new macbook and I can't figure out how I used to have it working. I think I have spent 3 hours putting in various IP, gateway, DNS and Netmask addresses...but nothing seems to work.
The other Macintosh that I used to test the shared network was showing the following under it's network preferences:
IPv4: 192.168.2.2
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Router: 192.168.2.1
DNS: 192.168.2.1
...so I would had thought that the Contiki/Uthernet setting would have been similar:
IP: 192.168.2.3
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.2.1
DNS: 192.168.2.1
...but that didn't work.
Would someone be willing to hold my hand and help me find the correct numbers?
Much thanks in advance.
Phil

My network consists of exactly two nodes: a Mac mini with OS X 10.5.8 and an
Apple II with Contiki.
I used these settings for the Mac:
IP address: 169.254.2.2
Netmask: 255.255.0.0
Gateway: 169.254.2.1
DNS: 169.254.2.2
My Mac mini is not running a name server.
Now the Apple II with Contiki (and ADTPro) gets very similar settings:
IP address: 169.254.2.3
Netmask: 255.255.0.0
Gateway: 169.254.2.1
DNS: 169.254.2.2
You should know that gateway is the IP address of a router used for
connecting to another network. In my case, I'm using a crossover Ethernet
cable to directly link the two machines, so there is no router.
Since my network doesn't have a router, the gateway address doesn't matter,
so I just set it to the "first address", 169.254.2.1, of the subnet, then
make the Mac mini x.x.x.2, and the Apple II x.x.x.3.
The subnet mask is used to determine which IP packets should be sent to the
gateway. Likewise, when there's no gateway (router), then the subnet really
doesn't matter, so you may as well set it to 255.255.0.0.
In summary: you should very well be able to use the same settings on the
Apple II as with the Macintosh, excepting that the IP address should be + or
- 1.
..However, if you network environment is any more complicated than mine,
then you will have to follow more of the rules. Other posters to this
newsgroup should help you out there.

Thanks for the replies.
I played around with this for a while, but in the end I couldn't get it working. My apple II seems a little flakey at present and has died too, so before I make any progress on the network front, I need to get the machine up and running again. What a pain.
Thanks
Phil
