What is the ifconfig & route output of the server? How are you connecting them? direct or via a hub? Nadeem "B. L. Jilek" wrote:

Hello I am having a problem connecting a SuSE6.3 486 to a SuSE6.3 server.

What happens is on bootup I see it send out a ping when setting up route. It sets it up fine along with eth0. After that I cannot ping out of the 486. I also cannot ping the 486 from the server. Server: 192.168.1.1 486: 192.168.1.3

route output is: Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface localnet * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 loopback * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo default 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0

I can ping the ethernet card itself but that's all from the 486. All other machines on the network are working as advertised.

ifconfig:

eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:60:97:DB:B8:93 inet addr:192.168.1.3 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 Interrupt:5 Base address:0.280 DMA chan:3

Anyone have an idea what is wrong?

The ethernet card is a ISA 3com 3c515-TX

Thanks.

The only thing I can think of is whether or not the network 'localnet' is specified correctly in /etc/networks. Otherwise I see no problems (from this stuff). If you do a 'route -n' then localnet should show up as 192.168.1.0 .
