Heres my previous message ___________________________________________________________________ Hi Everyone,
I've managed to get tcp/ip networking up and running on my Debian machine. I have my 3com 3x509 configured to ip address 192.168.0.1, I have one other machine on my local network(for now) and it is ip 192.168.0.2. How can I get my debian machine to see(ping) the other machine? My hub shows activity but ping just sits there like it is receiving nothing. Does this have something to do with the routing table? I've been studying a little and the more I read about the routing tables the more confused I get. Could someone clear my up on this? Thanks for any help in advance ____________________________________________________________________ Heres ifconfig output 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:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 eth0 Link encap:10Mbps Ethernet HWaddr 00:A0:24:23:89:65 inet addr:192.168.0.1 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:1 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 TX packets:8 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 Interrupt:10 Base address:0x300 Heres route -n output Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 1 eth0 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo Now another question, my other computer is a Windows NT machine how can I can that I have connectivity between the two machines?
