Hi Folks,
I am setting a mini network using two PC's both fitted with 3Com 3c509 ISA ethernet cards attached via a null modem. bsod is a bog standard SuSE 7.0 box and tcob1 is a 2.2.20 box with 3c509 module compiled.
I installed, rebooted and checked the config, everything looks okay except that I am getting a no route to host error.
tcob1 is 192.168.0.1 bsod is 192.168.0.2
in both boxes eth0 is set to 3c509 (ips as above). Ifconfig showes (on tcob1): eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:60:8C:CF:3C:BF inet addr:192.168.0.1 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
Route showes: 194.165.0.2 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 1 0 0 tap0 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 U 1 0 0 tap0
I am totally lost as to what maybe wrong. tcob1 is the dialup box and I want to use bsod as the work horse :)

This has me confused because it sounds like you are saying you have a null modem cable between two ethernet cards. What I assume you want to do is get the 2 computers talking through eth0. On which computer do you get the route to host error? Post the route table for bsod as well. This route seems to be correct to connect your internal lan through eth0 and using tap0 as default route although you could stand to add the gateway to your default route (assming 194.165.0.2 as the gateway). Can you get to the net through tcob1 as is? JHS
