Hi all
I'm having a spot of bother setting up what I thought would be a straight
forward network. I have two machines, each with a 3c509b nic, connected to a
3com 4 port hub. The problem is that under Linux I just can't get the two
machines to see each other. What confuses me even more is that everything
works fine under W95. Here's my setup..
Machine 1
Name: gateway
IP: 192.168.1.1
Mask: 255.255.255.0
No Gateway
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use
Iface
192.168.1.1 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 eth0
192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
Machine 2
Name: Racer
IP: 192.168.1.2
Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.1
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use
Iface
192.168.1.2 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 eth0
192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
default 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
The arp tables are empty on both machines but even if I load them it doesn't
make a blind bit of difference. When I do a ping the hub shows packets are
been sent through it so....??
I'm using RH 6.0 on both machines. Kernel 2.2.5-15
Thanks very much for any help in advance.
Adrian
