[uml-user] out of practice with networking

[McMechan, J. <McM...@na...>]

I must be out of practice with the uml networking as I can
uml# ping host
works
host#ping uml
works
uml# ping host-ip
works to ping the eternal interface eth0's ip address
but uml# ping nearbyhost 
host# tcpdump tap0 icmp
tcpdump: listening on tap0
10:11:23.718044 192.168.0.2 > 129.131.7.74: icmp: echo request (DF)
10:11:24.757959 192.168.0.2 > 129.131.7.74: icmp: echo request (DF)

host# tcpdump eth0 icmp
tcpdump: listening on eth0
10:05:28.038066 192.168.0.2 > 129.131.7.74: icmp: echo request (DF)
10:05:28.040853 129.131.7.74 > 192.168.0.2: icmp: echo reply (DF)
10:05:29.077971 192.168.0.2 > 129.131.7.74: icmp: echo request (DF)
10:05:29.080969 129.131.7.74 > 192.168.0.2: icmp: echo reply (DF)

so I appear to have forgotten something.

linux-2.4.18-23 umid=deb ubd0=root_deb ubd1=debian ubd2=swap
eth0=tuntap,,,192.168.0.1
using the debian.bin as described by Ferdinand Tempel

I had manually typed in "ln -s /dev/vc/2 /dev/tty2" which gave me the extra
console where I did 3 and 4
to get rid of those silly messages about not having tty2/3/4
