Hello,
I think I have a routing problem.
(I followed the instructions in the net-3 howto with no success)
Now I have two computers conected with an ethernet cable.
Both computers have ne2000 compatible ethernet cards and they are
set up correctly. (Both dmesg and netconf give the same base address
and irq for the card, and yes, the cable is there with terminators
and all. They use the ne-driver.)
But I cannot use the network.
Telnet gives the following error message:
no route to host
On both computers ifconfig says something like:
eth0: UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST ...
TX errors 120 ... carrier 120
collisions 2040 ... txqueuelen 100 ...
Both computers have identical /etc/hosts
192.168.1.1 loota.localdomain loota
192.168.1.10 toosa.localdomain toosa
So there should not be a problem with ip-numbers.
(ping/ftp etc can transform the names to to ip numbers correctly)
There should not be any problems with inetd services either since
I can ping, telnet and ftp to the "login" host using the
ip-number in /etc/hosts
netstat -r gives:
on "toosa" 192.168.1.10:
destination gateway genmask flags mss window Irtt Iface
192.168.1.10 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 eth0

on "loota" 192.168.1.1:

127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
"loota" also has a modem for ppp-connections to internet.
So, where is the problem? It seems that everything sent to the
ethernet card disappears somewhere.
Thanks for any help.
