Hi,
I have two Linux boxes, much the same as those described on the mailing
list. I took the easy way out and bought a cross wired cable.
However, I also have the problem that ping works to the local host, but
not to the other.
office1 has an Intel eexpress 10/100 and office2 has a realtek ne2000.
They are connected by a crossover UTP cable.
The netstat -r looks like this:
[root@office1 /root]# netstat -r
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt
Iface
office1 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0
eth0
192.168.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0
eth0
127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0
lo
and ifconfig looks like this:
[root@office1 /root]# ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:10:5C:AB:01:D8
inet addr:192.168.0.1 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

RX packets:1154 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:1154 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
Office 2's netstat -r looks the same, except the top line says
"office2".
office1 has IP address 192.168.0.1 and office2 has IP address
192.168.0.2
When I try to ping 192.168.0.2 (office2) from office1, it just hangs,
and when I hit control-C it says there's been 100% packet loss. However,
the light on the ethercard on office2 flashes, so packets are being
sent - it just isn't responding. Likewise when I try it the other way
around.
When I ping 192.168.0.0 from office2, I get duplicate packets from
192.168.0.1 (office1), so there must be a connection, just a problem
with reponses.
Do you have an idea of what's going on? I'd appreciate all the help you
can give me.
Cheers,
Jason
