Hi All,
I have a SparcStation LX (running Solaris2.6) and a PC running SuSE 6.0
which are connected via an ethernet. The system seems to be set up
correctly (and the card works) but when I look at the output from cat
/proc/net/dev I find that all of the packets are being routed to lo
instead of to eth0. I have ppp working correctly (<grin> this wouldn't
be able to get sent otherwise) and have got a friend to look at my
system and am at a loss as to what is going wrong.
(I'm _sure_ I'm missing *something*)
If someone could help I would be extremely greatfull, as I have to boot
into Windoze if I want to connect my Sparc to the internet.
