Consider buying Roadshow TCP/IP - almost certain to work
« Reply #14 on: November 08, 2020, 01:14:10 PM »
Please consider buying a copy of the Roadshow TCP/IP service. It is almost certain to work; not only does it support dynamic IP numbers using DHCP, but it is also written by AmigaOS developer Olaf 'Olsen' Barthel. In short, it's a solid product. Moreover, and unlike software like Miami, it is under active development. In fact, a maintenance version was released just a few weeks ago. Roadshow isn't expensive at all and, as always, by purchasing a copy you clearly show your support for AmigaOS software development. You'll find more information about Roadshow on its homepage and on amigashop.org.

Yeah, Roadshow is a good choice, but as you already have OS3.9 installed, you also should have AmiTCP/IP Genesis bundled with it, and you probably could try quickly if it'd work any better.

With OS3.9 Genesis is way to go. It has nice very configurable GUI, but you need to set up static IP for it.

Just thought of something else to try: see if you can ping out to an external IP address instead of a hostname.

i.e., instead of 'ping google.com' try 'ping 172.217.3.110'.

If that fails, then it's a general network config problem and not just a nameserver issue.

yep, I get an alive but still get "cannot resolve hostname" from Aweb

BTW: I only get an alive pinging from Inet:c  and not sys: c and assume this is ok?
Also my Inet-225 dir is located DEVS: Internet and assume that also ok and don't need any paths/assign statements.


My Amiga = 192.168.1.75
Gate/router = 192.168.1.1

netstat -nr:

Dest                  Gateway
127.0.0.1          127.0.0.1   
192.168.1.75     127.0.0.1
default               192.168.1.1
192.168.1.1       192.168.1.75

My resolv.conf file:

domain 192.168.1.1
nameserver 192.168.1.1
search hsd1.ma.comcast.net


I am going to try a new version on AWEB  and see if that helps. I am going to get Roadshow.

What result do you get with typing 'which ping' in a shell?

And you can ping your default gateway?
You don’t write anything about the netmask, is it set to 255.255.255.0?

(I think perhaps Inet/AS-225 predates CIDR, from a time when classfull networks was still the thing)

Yes for the Gateway - as long as I ping from Inet: dir....otherwise I get "unknown protocol ICMP". I would assume that NOT to be a concern since the "ping" command within DEV: Internet dir is not the same as Inet: C?

netstat -nr does not show any masking info, is there another command I can use to check?


Thanks

While I wait for Roadshow, I ended up installing Genesis and everything works now, so I suspect (as Matt & Kolla) said, must have been a "socket" issue with Inet-225...well time to move on. Thanks for all the help

AmigaOS 3.2 + Roadshow: A New Experience
« Reply #25 on: November 11, 2020, 10:03:35 PM »
Slightly off topic, but still relevant - you may want to prepare for a complete system overhaul in the near future. As you may already know, AmigaOS 3.2 is in the works. The previews previously published on the Amiga.org forum holds a clear statement - the jump from Release 3.1.4 to 3.2 will likely be the most significant jump in the history of Legacy AmigaOS, rendering the offshoot versions obsolete. Please consider a ditching your current setup for an OS 3.2 + Roadshow combination down the road; chances are you'll feel like you've acquired a brand new Amiga.

This is so great.  Stealing this quote as well.  Like with any update, will probably fix a dozen bugs while introducing two dozen more.  🤣

LOL, j/k.  Best of luck to you all!  😁

...

My resolv.conf file:

domain 192.168.1.1
nameserver 192.168.1.1
search hsd1.ma.comcast.net


Sorry, I'm just reading this thread right now: this "resolv.conf" file has issues :(

The "domain" option should be a domain name, such as "example.com" (which is just an example) and not an IP address. You use the "domain example.com" if your computer is part of a local network and you don't want to add "example.com" to every host name in the same network whenever you type it. Instead of, for example, "router.example.com" you then just enter "router" and the name resolution will automatically add "example.com" to it. If you have "192.168.1.1" in there, then the name lookup translates it into "router.192.168.1.1" which is not a valid domain name. You don't necessarily need to add a "domain" option to the "resolv.conf" file.

The "search" option is a more powerful replacement for the "domain" option. Where the "domain" option can take care of just one single local domain, the "search" option allows you to provide multiple domains to search for. As with the "domain" option, you don't necessarily need this. If you enter "ping example", then the name lookup will translate this into "ping example.hsd1.ma.comcast.net", which is not useful.

As far as I can tell, you only need to have a single "nameserver" option in your "resolv.conf" file, and nothing else.

If I remember correctly, INet-225 as a product is about as old as AmiTCP V4. The features of both TCP/IP stacks should be similar, drawing upon technology of the same age (1990-1992).

Some things have changed greatly since these TCP/IP stacks were released, and how DNS server responses look like is one of them.

I suspect that changing the INet-225 "resolv.conf" file may not have much of an impact on your name resolution issues. If I remember correctly, the AmiTCP V4 and INet-225 TCP/IP stack defaults restrict IP datagram sizes to the small end (576 bytes?), which was how things were in the early 1990'ies. This used to be sufficient for DNS lookups back then, but today's DNS zones tend to feature many more records and those records can be much longer than they used to be (e.g. signature information for DKIM, multiple IPv4 and IPv6 addresses corresponding to the same name).

This means that your name resolution could fail because the name resolution feature in your Amiga TCP/IP stack does not expect the DNS lookup response to be so large. The limitations of the DNS lookup library buffer sizes as these existed in the early 1990'ies may play a part here, too.

Thanks for the bkg info, I am online now. I gave up trying to get Inet to work and went with Genesis stack and it works fine. I also order Roadshow which I will test at some point
