Hello,
after connecting my two computers, and configuring them,
I have noticed that, while I can ftp and telnet at the
maximum speed between the two, something weird happened
on the "client", i.e. on the one that should use the
other as its Internet Gateway.
(Gateway = 192.168.1.1, Client = 192.168.1.2)
1) on the client, route -n gives:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use
Iface
192.168.1.2 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0
eth0
192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0
eth0
127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0
lo
0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 1 0 0
eth0
Please notice the first route: I know it should'nt be
there, but I can't figure out how it slipped in:
how do I remove it permanently?
( I also said to Linuxconf that the gateway should
do IP routing: was it correct?)
2) After networking, starting X on the client takes
5/6 minutes, against 30/40 seconds it took before,
and during this time there is ethernet traffic (i.e.
the NIC led flashes) every ~10 seconds.
After it is started, everything works at the usual
speed.
Are the two things connected? Why?
TIA
Ciao
