Subject: Can't connect to local network
I think I finally have succeeded in installing my network card, at least
ifconfig lists it as UP. But for some reason I'm not able to connect to my very
local network at home.
I've got the following setup
<p> Mac G4 --------------------- Hub ------------------ PowerBook
(IP 10.1.1.2) | (IP 10.1.1.3)
|
|
PC running SuSE
(IP 10.1.1.11)
The problem is that I from the Linux machine can access the httpd server (on the
same machine) using the address 10.1.1.11, the same goes for ping, telnet and
ftp.
If I start a webserver on the G4 machine I can reach it from the PowerBook BUT I
can't ping the Linux machine from one of the Macs, neither can I reach it using
telnet, a web browser or a ftp client (I get the message "can't find machine").
If I from the Linux machine try to ping the G4 machine or to access
the web server it, I just get the message that it can't find the
machine.
The Linux machine is connected to the hub and the indicators on the network card
and the hub is turned on.
I tried looking at the routing table but as I understand it (from reading the
manual) it should work. Here is how it looks, using "route -n":
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
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 0 0 0 eth0
<p>I assume that I missing some basic thing but I can't figure out what.
<p>Could anyone give me a hint on what I'm missing?
