I am having some difficulty getting PCI to talk to a host. I have
done this several times, so I am familiar with the procedure, but this
system is giving me fits. First the host:
386/25 AST Premium
7 Megs RAM
330 Meg ESDI Imprimis w/WD1007-WA2
WD8003E Ethernet card
ISC 2.2, PCI 2.8.6
Symtoms:
The host has TCP up and running, ping tests work 100% when I
ping the host. In other words, host name is "lica" and from
lica, I do : # ping lica and I get 100% success. I assume
this means TCP is configured correctly, at least this has been
my experience with other systems. The PCI host software is
installed and the daemons are running. PSUEDO tty's are also
installed.
The pc simply will not find the host. I have stripped the pc
down so that all there is left is a mono card, the WD8003 and
the RLL controller. I have checked for shared memory
conflicts and interupt conflicts as well.
PCI's LOGIN program on the PC brings up the copyright screen
and never finds the host.
I have even gone so far as to remove the hosts vga card and replace
with mono. Personally I think it might be something to do with the
AST hardware or BIOS, but not sure. Any ideas?
Thanks for any help you can offer.
