Hi all,
I'm trying to get SLIP to work between two machines with a null cable.
The problem:
I do:
ifconfig sl0 -pointopoint up
then
ifconfig sl0
displays
sl0 Link encap:VJ Serial Line IP
inet addr:133.11.22.33 P-t-P:133.11.22.33 Mask:255.255.255.255
~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~
POINTOPOINT NOARP MULTICAST MTU:296 Metric:1
RX packets:53 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
compressed:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
Collisions:0 compressed:0
Notice the same addresses. The result is this machines slipline
has the address of the partner. Is this normal ?
No matter what, I can't get the machines to understand their own IP
and that of the partner. (tried specifying the address after -pointopoint
without luck....)
I don't get it. Anybody know the correct procedure ?
Tnx.
