IP Networking

I need to transfer data from SCO Unix to a windows 2000 or 98 machine. The files are too big for doscp, and I can't get the right programs for transferring via kermit. So the next step, though perhaps more difficult, would be to set up an ethernet network and tranfer the data using ftp. I have done this many times where the ethernet network is already set up, but I need to set up the ethernet network, using TCP/IP.

I have used netconfig to add the 3COM NIC, I have established its address as 192.168.0.10. When the system boots, the system knows the card is there but doesn't set it up properly.

In my reading, it seems I may need to use ifconfig to set the address, but I can't find much documentation on how to use that command.

The NICs seem to see each other (lights are on at both ends), and I am using a cross-over cable since I am not going through a hub.

Where am I going wrong? Any guidance?

yes, at a mininum you need to set up the interface with ifconfig() and route() commands.

I need some guidance on where to find information about using ifconfig and route.

On UNIX systems you get guidance by typing man before the name of the command:

man ifconfig

man route

You will save lots of time by going to the bookstore and buying "TCP/IP Network Administration," an OReilly Book (the book and white book with the crab on the cover.)
