The "NetBSD/amiga Beginner's Guide to TCP/IP Networking
and Networking-FAQ", 2nd Edition
After quite some time, I've had the time to make an update on the
Networking FAQ to reflect the chances made in NetBSD V1.2.
The second edition contains lots of smaller enhancements, as well as
sections on the following topic:
● Arcnet, technical stuff and setup
●Setting up SLIP and PPP both manually and automatic (using bsddip
and chat)
● Setting up the system as NIS client
● Setting up `/net' with amd
● List of URLs for secure telnet/rlogin sessions, WWW-servers and -proxies as well as firewalls.
● How to deal with 'silo overflows'
● What is proxy-arp, how to use it
The FAQ is
available from ftp.uni-regensburg.de in the directory
/pub/NetBSD-Amiga/docs/Networking-FAQ. Available versions are:
● Texinfo-source (nwf.texi)
● PostScript (nwf.ps)
● Info-format (nwf.info, nwf.info-*)
● Plain ASCII (nwf.txt, pic1.txt, pic2.txt, pic3.txt)
● HTML (nwf_toc.html, nwf_*.html)
● Everything in a single .tar.gz file (350kB)
The HTML-version is also reachable via WWW:
http://rfhs8012.fh-regensburg.de/~feyrer/NetBSD/NWF/nwf_toc.html.
This should be enough versions to fit everyone's needs. ;-) If someone
wants to recreate the above versions from scratch, the Makefile, a
self-written script and (enhanced :-) texi2html have also been put onto the
FTP-Server. A simple "make all" should rebuild everything.
Please email any comments, etc. to hubert.feyrer@rz.uni-regensburg.de.
