[Sheflug] Re: Network Goes on Holiday

Dear All

Still can't work out where I've gone wrong...

result of netstat -r.....

SuSE box

Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway   Genmask     Flags MSS Window irtt Iface
bolehill.bolehi - 255.255.255.255  !H    - -        -    -
192.247.47.47 *   255.255.255.255  UH    - -        0    ippp0
192.168.0.0   *   255.255.255.0    U     0 0        0    eth0
loopback      *   255.255.255.0    U     0 0        0    lo
loopback      *   255.0.0.0        U     0 0        0    lo

on the Debian box......

Destination    Gateway   Genmask     Flags  MSS Window   irtt Iface
192.168.1.0    *      255.255.255.0  U       0   0        0    eth0
192.247.0.0    *      255.255.0.0    U       0   0        0    ippp0
127.0.0.0      *      255.0.0.0      U       0   0        0    lo

if I ping either machine I get "network is unreachable".  If I edit
/etc/route.conf and do "/sbin/init.d/route stop" and
"/sbin/init.d/route start" I get "Error while executing: /sbin/route
add net 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev eth0 route: netmask
doesn't match route address"

Looked in the SuSE manual and Running Linux from O'Reilly and I don't
get any clues from those either.  Uner YaST the network card is eth0
192.168.0.2.

What do I chop around next ??

Thanks
