Hey man... no problem. Gave me an opportunity to learn what the heck you
were talking about (LOL). Anyway, I do have another problem. Another
fellow reader of this listserv was been diligent in assisting me in getting
my network card setup (THANKS!!! you know who you are). Well, all was well
until a file was metioned. Now I'm looking for a file similar to this:
contents of /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1
HOSTNAME=`cat /etc/HOSTNAME`
# Attach the loopback device.
/sbin/ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
/sbin/route add -net 127.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev lo
# Edit for your setup.
IPADDR="192.168.1.2" # REPLACE with YOUR IP address!
NETMASK="255.255.255.0" # REPLACE with YOUR netmask!
NETWORK="192.168.1.0" # REPLACE with YOUR network address!
BROADCAST="192.168.1.255" # REPLACE with YOUR broadcast address, if you
# have one. If not, leave blank and edit below.
GATEWAY="192.168.1.1" # REPLACE with YOUR gateway address!
He(or she) has the Slackware version, I have Debian. Obviously, I'm trying
to add a route to get my two machines to talk. When I try this command:
route add -net 127.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0 dev lo (adding the loopback
adapter)
I get- "netmask doesn't match route address"
However, ifconfig confirms this is legit. Dmesg says my network card is
there (eth0). What do you suggest?
