Hello list I have a new laptop and I would connect it to my main machine to exchange files.But I cannot configure a valid route and only get this :

For what you are trying to do your routing table will suffice. If both machines are on the same subnet, routing is not needed.
# ifup route ifup [DEBUG] route ifup [DEBUG] HWDESC = route CONFIG = INTERFACE = route ifup route ifup ERROR: No configuration found for route
This makes no sense as you do not have an interface "route".
It must not be a hardware problem as the two machines can ping each other through their hostnames or IPv4 addresses.
True
I made /etc/sysconfig/network/routes files which does not seem to be accepted this is the one of my main machine with its own address then that of the laptop 127.0.0.1 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 lo 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 eth-id-00:04:75:7f:38:25 192.168.0.3 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 eth-id-00:c0:9f:43:bd:d3
Two default gateways! NO!
I have a similar one on my laptop I am not at all a network expert i just installed one long ago with SuSE 7.1, but things seem to have much changed I must be missing something obvious Could you help me ?
You do not make (or edit) the routes file, the program /sbin/route does (in a round about way). Read man route for configuring your routing table manually or let yast do it as part of your network card setup. How are you trying to share files? nfs? scp? samba? fish? The output of ifconfig and route from both machines could be helpful also. -- Jim Barnes -- Certainly the game is rigged.
