Hello
I'm trying to put two Linux boxes (my Debian Slink and a RH one) using LAN and connect both to Internet via DialUp. My /etc/init.d/network is: ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 route add -net 127.0.0.0 ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1 I did not insert the line route add -net 192.168.1.0 cause it returns SIOCADDRT: Invalid argument When I try to ping 192.168.1.2 (the other computer) I get "Operation not permitted" even as root. When the other machine tries to ping 192.168.1.1 it gets timeout. I'm stuck. I tried to read /usr/doc/HOWTOS/anithing about setting up lan, but the documents are a bit confusing (pehaps I'm dumb). An interesting fact is that if I start a ppp conection (pon) an close (poff) upon connection, both machines start to ping nicely, and both can start telnet/ftp connections on the other side. Can anyone help me? Claudio
