I have been following this problem in the middle of some 500 mails, now i
could have missed one or two, but i rather think this one is the origanal
question, i have seen many replys and tips, but, no one as far as i can see
has said, try the following.
machine 1 :
ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1 broadcast 192.168.1.255 netmask 255.255.255.0
route add 192.168.1.2 eth0
machine 2 :
ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.2 broadcast 192.168.1.255 netmask 255.255.255.0
route add 192.168.1.1 eth0
Use, 'route del default' on both machines if there are further problems.
That should work.
