Based on this I messed around w/ macTCP on the SE (using "Obtain address manually"-- "Dynamicly" wouldn't give me those critical last 3 digits, just 192.168.2.0) until I got TattleTech to report... =D7 MacTCP is Running =3D Yes + MacTCP Version =3D 1.1.1 + IP Address =3D 192.168.2.105 + Gateway Address =3D 192.168.2.1 + Default Domain Server Name =3D netvision.net + Default Domain Server Address =3D 194.90.1.5 =D7 Ethernet is Running =3D No + EtherNet Hardware Address =3D NA =D7 Current Connection Type =3D EtherTalk Phase 2
Another reason you aren't able to ping is that you are using a non-routable private IP (RFC 1597). You need a 'real' IP address, probably/preferably one on the same network as your Default Domain Server Address. Change back from a manual IP address to a dynamically assigned one. You may also need to statically assign the DNS (Domain Name Server), but the rest should be assigned by the DHCP (Dynamic Host Control Protocol) server.
He's trying to ping within his private address subnet. In any event you can ping a real world IP address from a NAT routed private address.
