I am using bad terms here.... Actually what I have is a 2 computer lan
connected with a hub. Eventually I wish to run the local lan and connect to
the internet via my ppp connection.
what I have done since we spoke last is
1. disabled pnp on the 3com cards.
2. rename the hosts adding a domain to the names
3. added a route ( and removed the route)
4. wrote to donald becker about the cards.
here is what the configuration files look like now
#etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.16.1 abraham.localdomain.nevada (localdomain is part of the host
name not a domain name)
192.168.16.2 joseph.localdomain.nevada
#etc/HOSTNAME
joseph.localdomain.nevada
#etc/sysconfig/network
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=joseph.localdomain.nevada
DOMAINNAME=nevada
GATEWAYDEV=
GATEWAY=
#/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTP=no
ONBOOT=no
BROADCAST=192.168.16.255
NETWORK=192.168.16.0
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
IPADDR=192.168.16.2
The other machine is set up likewise.
I ran tests with and without a route the route command I used was
route add -net 192.168.16.0
Now in all cases when I ping from either machine I always get a network
unreachable error
specifically
ping: sendto: Network is unreachable
ping: wrote 192.168.16.2 64 chars, ret=-1
what is going on here????
