It works! My wireless bridge malfunctioned, I connected the DenYoNet directly to the router. My NMS8245 has an IP adres!
I'm going to freak out now for an hour or so
Konamiman, any idea why the ping utility doesn't work well on my turboR GT? Echo request is being followed by an echo reply, but TTL is always 0? And pressing any other key than ENTER doesn't return to the command line. Somehow it hangs. But not completely, PAUSE button still works and even keyclicks I can still hear when pressing other keys....hm, hm, hm.....
Similar problems overhere with my NMS8245, when using the ping utility
Hello,
The picture's of the Denyonet are really nice.
But, can someone make a YouTube movie of it to show the Denyonet ?
MSX4ever.
The PING program always shows a TTL value of 0 because the PING, DNS and DHCP functionalities use a socket open in "raw IP" mode, in which there is no way to retrieve the IP header of the incoming datagrams, and thus there is no way to get the TTL. If I want the IP header I need to open a socket in "raw MAC" mode, but this forces me to manually compose the IP and Ethernet headers of the outgoing datagrams, and to parse the headers of the incoming datagrams. Too much work for too little benefit, I think. Anyway, if you really want to see the TTLs there is a workaround: burn the Ethernet UNAPI BIOS in your Denyonet, then install InterNestor Lite.
About the PING program hanging problem, I have no idea what can it be. I am now busy with the second alpha of Nextor, I will take a look at it when I finish it.
A new versions sounds verry nice and thank you for the explenation about the TTL
.. Last weekend i have used my Network card a lot. I realy like the idea that my MSX has an MAC and IP number !! .. how cool is that...
i tryed FTP and SMB and both are very stable on my MSX. I tryed it on my MSX8280 (2+/7mhz) I didn't have time to give it a try on my turbo-r.
Other thing. I saw on your website also something about nextor, that it supported FAT16 where you alble to boot from.
If i understand right.. you have to have a ROM in your MSX for supporting nextor ? What is the best option to do this ?
it's sound nice because you can copy a lot of data to your MSX using network capabilitys now..
About Nextor: please wait for the second alpha. I'm working on it and it corrects some serious bugs of the first alpha.
The easiest way to take a look at Nextor is to use an emulator. On a real MSX, currently the only option is to burn the "standalone" version in a flash cartridge, then using it together with your storage controller. This usually means that you run out of slots for anything else.
There is a version of Nextor intended to be burned in Sunrise IDE cartridges, but unfortunately the IDEFLOAD program assumes that you are burning a 64K ROM and the Nextor kernel is 128K long. I contacted Jon De Schrijder and he patched the program for me, but the patched version does not work. I wrote him again and now I'm waiting for his reply...
Anyway I think that this topic deserves a separate forum topic.
Now testing SMDneardark's Denyonet (mine still didn't arrive...) and we wonder how to get the speed above the 1,2KB/s with the hget tool... Even my own Obsonet is faster
Where are you getting the file from? A remote server, or a computer in the local network?
Also, HGET is programmed in C, so it is not as fast as it could be. Please try with the FTP client, which is written in assembler.

Hget was used with a computer in the local network. We also did test with the "samba" tool, but then we got stuck at approx. 6~8 KB/s... We didn't give the FTP client a try yet.
Is there a different in network speed using a normal MSX or an Turbo-r ?
