Hi Marc. I'm not an expert, but at least I have a routing table that functions. :) On Sun, Apr 24, 2005 at 07:49:39PM +0000, Marc Shapiro wrote: > desktop computer: > > Kernel IP routing table > Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface > localnet * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 > default mareschal 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 Seems fine to me. I wonder if 'localnet' and 'mareschal' need to be specified with their IP addresses though. Are these two values defined anywhere? Here is my routing table, which is basically the same, except it has literal IP addresses: mauritsvanrees:~# route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 default 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 > eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:11:5B:1B:8F:1F > inet addr:192.168.0.3 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 > inet6 addr: fe80::211:5bff:fe1b:8f1f/64 Scope:Link > UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 > RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 > TX packets:534 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 On my system the numbers for RX and TX packets are roughly equal so your RX packet number should be around 500 or 600. I don't know wat RX and TX actually mean, but these numbers probably say: "You have a network error," which you already knew. :( Other than that, all ifconfig output seems fine. > gateway computer: > > Kernel IP routing table > Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface > 192.168.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 This part seems fine, though I would expect to see a line for outside addresses as well. But I don't have a gateway computer myself, just an off the shelf modem/router, so I can't really comment here. -- Maurits van Rees | http://maurits.vanrees.org/ [Dutch/Nederlands] Public GnuPG key: keyserver.net ID 0x1735C5C2 "Let your advance worrying become advance thinking and planning." - Winston Churchill
