Try using pump from the command line:
# pump --hostname=<hostname> --interface=eth0
- I then tried to configure the interface manually. I know that my base

- [root@localhost ihab]# ifdown eth0
- [root@localhost ihab]# ifconfig eth0 up
You need to add an IP address here:
# ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.NNN netmask 255.255.255.0
- [root@localhost ihab]# route add -host 192.168.1.1 eth0
- [root@localhost ihab]# route add -net default gw 192.168.1.1 eth0
-
- giving me the following kernel routing table --
-
- [root@localhost ihab]# route
- Kernel IP routing table
- Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
- 192.168.1.1 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 eth0
- 127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
- default 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
-
- and then I try to ping --
-
- [root@localhost ihab]# ping 192.168.1.1
- PING 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1) from 0.0.0.0 : 56(84) bytes of data.
The router has no way to send an answer back to 0.0.0.0. Add a fixed
IP address or try pump. If you have tcpdump installed, start it in
another window to watch the progess of the transaction.
