Hi, I have a 2 PC lan at home, one win95 the other linux. I might have jumped into the deep end here when I installed RH5 I included DNS and a whole host of other things as I hope to set the linux box up as an email and newsgroup server and also do IP Masq. I'm very new to Linux about 3 weeks :) At the moment I'm just having problems getting the linux machine to ping the win95 machine, following the NET-3-HOWTO I have modified the various config files. After reading some postings here I have checked my routing using the route command. I am still to get the linux machine to ping the 95 machine, and visa versa. The network address I'm using is 192.168.10.0 the hosts are 9 -> 95 box and 10 -> linux box. I can telnet to the local loop address, I don't know if that means anything, but I can't telnet into the linux box from the 95 machine. My routing table looks like this: dest gateway genmask flags metric ref use iface 192.169.10.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 9 eth0 default 192.168.10.1 255.255.255.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 15 lo I'm really confused as to how I get the IP address of the gateway, or at the least how it's determined. I only came up with the host address of 1 from some reading somewhere. Also, I'm using DNS (not very well I'm guessing) on the same machine, what would the name server be? .10? Sorry for the long post and load of questions, but I'm really stuck here... :( TIA.
