Thanks again, Frank:
Basically I'd say you're all set to try and load the DOS network
stack, and see if that works
I take it that means entering "start", in either MSNET OR PKTDRV.
:-) Again there are two alternative
flavours of the DOS TCP/IP stack, one tastes of Microsoft, the other
one of "independent open-source stuff" (the CRYNWR packet driver
API). This is what you should try next - either A) or B), reboot
inbetween A) and B) when you want to switch to the other:
A.) the one Microsoft way:
cd msnet
start
ping 10.1.1.1
ping 10.1.1.2
ping 10.1.1.92
B.) the CRYNWR packet driver:
cd pktdrv
start
ping 10.1.1.1
ping 10.1.1.2
ping 10.1.1.92
I suggest that you also try
mem /c /p
after A) and B) in turns for comparison. Look at the "largest
executable program size" at the end of the listing
In MSNET, that's "510K (522,512 bytes)".
In PKTDRV, it's ""628K (643,024 bytes).
If you get bored before I end up sending further "printing"
instructions to you, try tcpdump or Wireshark on the Linux box
OK, in a terminal window, I entered "sudo tcpdump -A". I see reports of
the router. These entries mention:
* HOST;
* CACHE-CONTROL;
* LOCATION;
* SERVER;
* NT;
* USN;
* NTS;
* OPT;
* 01-NLS;
* BOOTID.UPNP.ORG; and
* CONFIGID.UPNP.ORG.
Ubuntu Software installed the Qt version of the Wireshark sniffer. In a
terminal window, I launched it via sudo. But I didn't understand the
reportage. I need to read the documentation!
Maybe one small thing to test on your Ubuntu box: if you open a
terminal window, and type
which lpr
what do you get?
/usr/bin/lpr
If you get something like /usr/bin/lpr, could you also try this?
which lpq
/usr/bin/lpq
lpq -a
no entries
lpr is a command-line program that allows you to copy/send a file
to a print queue, locally within your Linux box. The file = print job
is expected at standard input.
lpq is a print queue "manager" command, for your overview of the
jobs being printed, and the queues present in the system.
Not sure if your CUPS comes with those utilities included.
Yes.
