Folks:
I've been testing the network between my machine and my wife's Windows
machine. These are the only two machines on the network, attached by
10BaseT. She can ping herself (gumby) and I can ping myself (rocky) both
by numeric IP and by name. However, when we ping each other, we basically
get "host unreachable." I even tried a flood ping for fun.
Below is the output from ifconfig. What's odd is that I would expect to
see something other than 0 for the TX packets number for eth0 below. It
looks like my pinging was going out from the lo interface (see the TX
packets number for lo) instead of the eth0 interface.
Am I right here, and if so, what's wrong and how can I fix it? (BTW, this
is RH6.1 and I've restarted the eth0 interface just to make sure.)
