If you are using a "connected" machine:

You need to add the lines:

        domain addserver [132.239.1.1] ucsd.edu
        route add default eth0 mirrorshades.ucsd.edu
             #assume eth0 is your ethernet port
        route add [44.xx.xx/24] ax0 (your local tcp/ip AX.25 router address)
             #assume ax0 is your TNC port
             #assume 44.xx.xx/24 is your local subnet--
             #like mine is 44.76.2/24 for San Antonio

to your autoexec.nos file.

ucsd.edu is the authoritative DNS for all of ampr.org and mirrorshades is
the "super-router" for ampr.org--- you will be able to get to any
"connected" ampr.org subnet using this set up.

If you are not connected, you must build a file called domain.txt in your
\nos subdirectory that is of the form:

w6aaa.ampr.org  IN      A       44.xxx.yyy.001
w6aab.ampr.org  IN      A       44.xxx.yyy.002
etc. etc.

for all members of your local subnet. Note that if you are connected, this
file will be created and grow but for some reason does not delete "expired"
entries.... You ought to keep a basic file around to use as a fresh start
every time you reboot. (I used to do this in the startup batch file...)

There are lotsa good DOC files on UCSD.EDU for anonymous download on
how-to-do NOS setup.... (/hamradio/packet/tcpip/docs and in specific
versions subdirs as well)

Good luck!
