From: VE2JOS@VE2JOS.#MTL.QC.CAN.NOAM To : LINUX@WW Hi every Linuxeers, If you try to start axip packet LAN between your Linux gateway and your PC Flexnet with for example winpack on a windows9x machine you may have trouble and search very long time (like I did) to make a such link working. 1st, when you try to set the "ether32 /c:1 /n0:AXIP,192.168.0.1" then start flexnet (flex then ) and windows, the flexnet stack does never TX or RX anything at all, so flexnet like they telle in their docs straight AX/IP IS NOT SUPPORTED at all while using winsock. So we have absolutely NO other choice than using AX/UDP/IP instead so put "ether32 /c:1 n0:AX_UDP,192.168.0.1:10093" but we arrive with the 2nd problem. In the ax25ipd.conf file, I have simply put the following parameters. (comments line snipped) socket udp 93 mode tnc device /dev/ptyp0 speed 38400 loglevel 0 broadcast QST-0 NODES-0 FBB-0 MAIL-0 route ve2jos-7 192.168.0.2 b d Result, the linux box did receive AX_UDP packets from the win/flexnet machine but UNABLE to send out to it!!! What a matter! Both machines are unable to use the same encapsulation? Not anymore. Why? I found in a older version of linaxip shim that we have to put BOTH encapsulations (AX/RAW/IP and AX/UDP/IP) then SPECIFY AT THE ROUTE LINE! Now the AX/UDP/IP link works great! I'm just writing this message through it So I leave you with my final ax25ipd.conf file with "======" aside each so importants lines! # # # # ax25ipd configuration file for station floyd.vk5xxx.ampr.org # # Select axip transport.
