Every time I press the (R)ECEIVE through ADTPro's Ethernet client, I get a host timeout within about 5 seconds. This is after configuring my ethernet through CONFI(G).
Also, when trying to use IPCONFIG.SYSTEM in Contiki, it gets stuck on "Requesting..."
I'm using the Uthernet II card along with the ADTPro image from a2retrosystems' website. My Uthernet is hooked up to my computer's Ethernet port.
Any advice?
Thanks!

Hi, Zacachry - that could mean any of a number of things. The basics: your host computer should be on the same network (i.e tied into the same switch) as your Apple II. The DHCP configuration should have assigned you a valid IP address via your local IP authority (maybe your local router/firewall machine). And after saving the configuration where you've got a valid IP address and you've specified the IP address of your host... the host should see a "ping" request on the status line at the host when the client starts (assuming your have clicked on the "Ethernet" button on the server before the client starts). How much of that rings true in your situation?

After some tinkering around, I found out that my Ethernet is not connecting to the Internet whatsoever, even when plugged into the back of a range extender. The cause of this appears to be the following error: "Windows Sockets registry entries required for network connectivity are missing." Once I get that cleared up, I believe it should work.
Thanks!

Yep, that'll do it. It's not a wireless network coming out the back of the Apple. ;-)
You may still find yourself having trouble with the range extender... I feel best when both computers are plugged into the same switch. But it doesn't necessarily have to be that way. I'll be interested to hear if it ends up working.

Got it working! I can now browse the Internet on my Apple //e through Contiki's browser.
Do you know anything about getting Contiki's telnet client to work, though? It says "Contiki up and running" followed by "invalid version or header length."
Also, the IRC client would connect, but whenever I tried to send a message it would say "No text to send."
Thanks in advance!

Ok, so it sounds like you actually didn't get it working (i.e. ADTPro via Ethernet). Seems like you still have a configuration issue, perhaps to do with the range extender. As for Contiki quesitons, I'd suggest heading over to their support pages... I don't have any experience with it.

In order to create disk images, you call it with the -pro140 or -pro800 to generate 140k or 800k images respectively. Some examples on the ADTPro page are here: http://adtpro.sourceforge.net/vdrive.html

Hmm, well I think I've found the problem.
After some tinkering around, I found out that my Ethernet is not connecting to the Internet whatsoever, even when plugged into the back of a range extender. The cause of this appears to be the following error: "Windows Sockets registry entries required for network connectivity are missing." Once I get that cleared up, I believe it should work.

What did you change that got it working?
I gave up on trying to get it to work with my Windows machine and am instead using a Raspberry Pi.
Now I can access Google, a2retrosystems.com, etc. It's only the telnet and IRC clients that are acting odd.
I am using Contiki version 2.7 from a2retrosystems.com.
Although, I still haven't been able to get ADTPro to transfer disks through Ethernet, even with the Pi. It still gives me the "HOST TIMEOUT" error.

Also, question about AppleCommander:
I am trying to get Contiki 3.0 on my Apple //e), but I cannot figure out how to create the necessary files through AppleCommander.
Contiki's github page: https://github.com/contiki-os/contiki
Apple //e-specific folder: https://github.com/contiki-os/contiki/tree/master/platform/apple2enh
It says to use AppleCommander to make the files, but I'm not sure how. Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks!
Again, I've got nothing to do with Contiki. But AC's command line guide is here:

Ah, sorry, didn't see that message.
And thanks for the help! I'll see if I can get it working.
