On our sles8 machine, we can connect to some external sites but not to others: linux04:~ # uname -a Linux linux04 2.4.19-3suse-SMP #1 SMP Mon Mar 3 14:07:59 UTC 2003 s390 unknown linux04:~ # linux04:~ # telnet www.ibm.com 80 Trying 129.42.19.99...

So it must be something in our sles8 configuration that is causing the problem, but I have no idea what. Below are the ifconfig and route displays for each machine (sles8 then sles7): linux04:~ # ifconfig eth0 eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:00:00:00:00 inet addr:134.67.180.142 Mask:255.255.255.252 inet6 addr: fe80::200:ff:fe00:0/10 Scope:Link UP RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1460 Metric:1 RX packets:760 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:519 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:61648 (60.2 Kb) TX bytes:68507 (66.9 Kb) Interrupt:5 linux04:~ # linux04:~ # route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 134.67.180.140 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.252 U 0 0 0 eth0 0.0.0.0 134.67.180.141 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 linux04:~ # linux05:~ # ifconfig eth0 eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:00:00:00:00 inet addr:134.67.180.142 Mask:255.255.255.252 inet6 addr: fe80::200:ff:fe00:0/10 Scope:Link UP RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1460 Metric:1 RX packets:342 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:211 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:27653 (27.0 Kb) TX bytes:28586 (27.9 Kb) linux05:~ # linux05:~ # route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 134.67.180.140 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.252 U 0 0 0 eth0 0.0.0.0 134.67.180.141 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 linux05:~ # Does anyone have any ideas ??
