Hi all! My IP address is 192.168.37.2 My friends IP addresses are 10.x.y.z I want to be able to ping them/have them telnet to me etc.
Is doing route add -net 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 dev eth0 OK or do I need to do something with ifconfig? At the moment things look like this: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface localnet * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 2 lo [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# route add -net 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 dev eth0 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface localnet * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 2 lo 10.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 ifconfig gives me this: lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Bcast:127.255.255.255 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP BROADCAST LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:3584 Metric:1 RX packets:18 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:18 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:60:08:91:22:CB inet addr:192.168.37.2 Bcast:192.168.37.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 Interrupt:9 Base address:0x300 Thanks Ian -- Ian Lynagh - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://home.sol.no/~balchen/igloo/ We spend the first twelve months of our children's lives teaching them to walk and talk and the next twelve telling them to sit down and shut up. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
