PLIP Connection to Win95

["David Karlin" <funk48@travelin.com>]

I have two boxes; call them lin and win.

	hostname	ip address		netmask
	lin		192.168.0.5		255.255.255.0
	win		192.168.0.1		255.255.255.0

I believe that win's network adapter has been properly configured; It can
ping it's loopback and its network adapter.  After reading the NAG manual
section on PLIP connections, I booted lin and did the following:

	#ifconfig
	(info on "lo" displayed; all looked good.)
	#route add default gw 192.168.0.1
	SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable.

I also tried:

	#route add 192.168.0.5        and
	#route add -net 192.168.0.0

Both of these commands yielded the same error msg.  This is especially
annoying since, while fooling with configuration a few nights ago, lin was
able to successfully ping win (although, at that point win was unable to
ping lin).

Can anyone figure out how to fix this?

Thanks for taking the time to read this (yes, I'm a Linux newbie).
