lan feature !!!


Bob
 

Well well well
guess what ????
i have had some success
i can now get all beacons from my packet machine sent to m inet machine here i am typing thins and watching the other stations coming in.
for some reason the place i was going wrong (i think) was specifying the ip address on the wrong port.

i tried the one that is in the ui-view INI file 1448 and it all came through i also used the sub mask ip address which made a difference (i think) but i am off to bed now as it is 4am and i will play with it tommorow.

i will put together a blow by blow account as and when i feel that i have got it right and understand it my self

Regards

Don't confuse IP addresses, subnet masks, and ports.

IP Address
----------
On a LAN, the IP addresses are conventionally of the format:-
192.168.0.1
192.168.0.2
192.168.0.3
192.168.0.4
Etc...

(There are other recommended series that you can use.)

Each machine is given a unique address and each machine should be given
a domain name.

As mentioned previously, creating a file called HOSTS in the WINDOWS
directory and putting in it the domain names and IP addresses of local
machines is always a good idea. You should also put in an entry for
localhost - which provides a means for a client to connect to a server
on the same machine. So, a hosts file might look like this:-

127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.0.1 development
192.168.0.2 kidz
192.168.0.3 voyager
192.168.0.4 packet
192.168.0.5 k6


Subnet Mask
-----------
The subnet mask, which in Win95/8 you specify in the LAN adaptor TCP/IP
properties should almost always be 255.255.255.0.


Port
----
The port used is entirely application dependent. The range of valid port
numbers is 1 to 32767, and servers like UI-View will normally use a port
number above 1024.

A server opens whatever port it is told to use, and listens on that
port.

A client connecting to a server has to specify the domain name or IP
address of the server and the port. If a domain name is specified,
Windows resolves it to an IP address by looking in the HOSTS file.

UI-View acting as a server defaults to listening on port 1448, but you
can change the port in UIVIEW.INI if you really want to. Clients have to
connect to the port that the server is listening on. I chose 1448 as the
default port for no other reason than because APRS in the UK uses
144.800MHz and so it should be easy to remember.
