I seem to be having some difficulty getting my home network up ... I wanted to network 2 pc's ... trinux and redhat 7.1 linux... i get both of my NICS to recognize and put on 10.10.10.0 addy and one 10.10.10.10 along with the gateway 255.0.0.0 and when i try to ping one from the other i get nothing but host unreachable??? _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx |

10.10.10.0 is a network address, not a host address. 10.10.10.0 and 10.10.10.255 are not valid host addresses. Anything in between is OK. 255.0.0.0 is a subnet mask, not a gateway. Unless you are connecting to the internet, you do not need a gateway address. 255.0.0.0 is the correct mask for the 10.0.0.0 class A.

First rule out a hardware (physical layer) problem. Are these computers directly connected with a single cable? If so then it must be a "cross cable". You can pick up a cat 5 cross cable at most local computer shops. If you are unsure if you are using a cross cable, look at this site to be sure. It also shows how to make one! http://www.atcomservices.com/highlights/makepatch.htm If you are plugged into a hub or switch regular cables will do. Check if you have "link lights" at all points (nics, hubs, etc.). Now to software. You didn't post your subnet mask, so try the following suggestion: RedHat: IP: 10.10.10.100 SUBNET: 255.255.255.0 GATEWAY: (Ip addr of your router, only necessary if you want to access other networks ie. the internet) DNS: (Ip addr of your DNS server, only necessary if you want to resolve names on the internet) Trinux: IP: 10.10.10.101 SUBNET: 255.255.255.0 GATEWAY: (Ip addr of your router, only necessary if you want to access other networks ie. the internet) DNS: (Ip addr of your DNS server, only necessary if you want to resolve names on the internet) For more networking information check out: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/HOWTO-INDEX/networking.html Good luck, Trinux is great.

Well other tricks (for "Acts of God" situations) when you are sure the logical/physical connections are right, look at dmesg for weird errors or ifconfig statistics. Spent a couple of hours on Friday troubleshooting with a stupid connectivity problem. Turned out the FastHub 100 (Cisco) was causing kernel watchdogs on eepro NiCs but 8139s and 3Coms worked fine. Weird. - mdf |

Well, you might want to check your 3com nic if it's a combo card. Even some of the later pci ones had to be configured sometimes via a program (3cxxxcfg.exe) to use the right port/irq/address. You'll need a DOS bootdisk or Windows/xx for this. Else: Try something like ping 127.0.0.1, ping (hosts own ip) to check if the tcp/ip stack is healthy so far. Look at routing tables, different netmasks, compare ifconfig output. Get a friend with a networked and working third machine to find out which machine fails. hth, jo +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ | __ __ __ __ _ _ It ain't over 'till it's Joerg Over... | | / _ \ V / -_) '_/ | | \___/\_/\___|_| | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
