Hi,
Sorry I have taken so long to reply.
The network is very small at the moment - just changed the IPs slightly to
make environment more consistent and easier to use the prefab linux image
that gives me basic telnet access allowing base-config etc:
P/390 linux 192.168.2.3----***
P/390 OS/2 192.168.2.2----*s*
Station 1 192.168.2.4----*w*
Station 2 192.168.2.5----*i*
router 192.168.2.1----*t*
*c*
*t*
*h*
***
All are plugged into the same little ethernet switch.
P/390 linux capable of seeing all the other computers, except router. I can
ping from P/390 to other systems NO router, BUT other systems to P/390 AND
router. Router is a netgear device, and interestingly it cant see the P/390
when I ask it to scan network for attached devices....it comes up with all
the other systems.
The system is offline for the moment, I will boot it tommorow and try and
get some more data such as ifconfig and route -n. I cant really understand
what could be going on here, apart from maybe the 1492 mtu that must be set
in linux for the P/390 to correctly function causing something odd to
happen, which I doubt it should.
Small follow on question - if I cant get it working with my router and
cannot immediately replace it, does anybody know what the best way of
tackling debian updates would be? I only really need to install postgresql
on the box and keep it up to date, could I just get the .deb files (only
really feasible for one or two apps) or create a local repository?
Thanks for all your help, Alex J Burke.
