If you are using a static-allocation SLIP server, you may want to include
entries for your IP address and hostname in <tt>/etc/hosts</tt>.
Also, configure these files listed in the above section:
<tt>rc.inet2</tt>, <tt>host.conf</tt>, and <tt>resolv.conf</tt>.
<P>
Also, configure <tt>rc.inet1</tt>, as described above. However, you only want to
execute <tt>ifconfig</tt> and <tt>route</tt> commands for the loopback device.
If you use <tt>dip</tt> to connect to the SLIP server, it will execute
the appropriate <tt>ifconfig</tt> and <tt>route</tt> commands for the SLIP
device for you. (If you're using <tt>slattach</tt>, on the other hand, you
<em>will</em> need to include <tt>ifconfig</tt>/<tt>route</tt> commands in
<tt>rc.inet1</tt> for the SLIP device---see below.)
<P>
<tt>dip</tt> <em>should</em> configure your routing tables appropriately
for the SLIP connection when you connect. In some cases, however, <tt>dip</tt>'s
behavior may not be correct for your configuration, and you'll have to
run <tt>ifconfig</tt> or <tt>route</tt> commands by hand after connecting
to the server with <tt>dip</tt> (this is most easily done from within
a shell script that runs <tt>dip</tt> and immediately executes the
appropriate configuration commands). Your gateway is, in most cases,
the address of the SLIP server. You may know this address before hand,
or the gateway address will be printed by the SLIP server when you
connect. Your <tt>dip</tt> chat script (described below) can obtain this
information from the SLIP server.
<P>
<tt>ifconfig</tt> may require use of the <tt>pointopoint</tt> argument, if
<tt>dip</tt> doesn't configure the interface correctly. For example,
if your SLIP server address is 128.253.154.2, and your IP address
is 128.253.154.32, you may need to run the command
<P><TT> ifconfig sl0 128.253.154.32 pointopoint 128.253.154.2
<P></TT>
as <tt>root</tt>, after connecting with <tt>dip</tt>. The man pages for
<tt>ifconfig</tt> will come in handy.

Note that SLIP device names used with the <tt>ifconfig</tt> and <tt>route</tt>
commands are <tt>sl0</tt>, <tt>sl1</tt> and so on (as opposed
to <tt>eth0</tt>, <tt>eth1</tt>, etc. for Ethernet devices).
<P>
In Section <A HREF="node221.html#secadvusingdip">5.3.4</A>, below, we explain how to configure
<tt>dip</tt> to connect to the SLIP server.
