PLIP question
Hello,
I am having trouble getting PLIP to work. I have two debian linux
machines, called frisbee and piglet. I tried to follow the instructions
of the PLIP mini-HOWTO, they seem to work on piglet but not on frisbee.
(I also have the laplink cable all plugged in but frisbee does not seem
to be ready for the fun.)
/etc/hosts on frisbee does contain the lines
----------------------------------------------------------------------
10.0.0.1 frisbee
10.0.0.2 piglet
----------------------------------------------------------------------
but when I try to add the routes, I get errors like this:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
frisbee# /sbin/route add -net 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0
SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable
----------------------------------------------------------------------
if I go on to do the ifconfig bit anyway, the plip module does get added
but I get errors again
----------------------------------------------------------------------
frisbee# ifconfig plip1 frisbee pointopoint piglet up
SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
SIOCSIFDSTADDR: No such device
frisbee# lsmod
Module Pages Used by
ppp 5 0
slip 2 1
slhc 2 [ppp slip] 1
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I am running a 2.0.33 kernel that I have compiled myself to the
specifications in the HOWTO. I shall include the .config file in an
appendix to this letter.
Please lend me your advice on how to fix this. I tried to read the RTFM
but the mini-HOWTO suggests that these errors were caused by not
compiling enough stuff into the kernel, which I think is not the case.
(Piglet runs on a very similar kernel.) I have also tried 2.0.27, but
that did not work either.
Thanks,
Janos Csirik.
