Hello David and thanks for your help. I was able to grab a network guy and a
linux guy and we have connectivity now!
I'm not sure if it a bug or something that we don't have set right. The
netstat command showed a line:
Default www.xxx.yyy.zzz 0.0.0.0 ug 0.0 0 eth0
So it looked like we had a default gateway. The linux guy entered commands:
Ifconfig eth0 down
Ifconfig eth0 inet www.xxx.linux.ip netmask 255.255.248.0 up arp
And things are working now. (I think that is all it took.) In ifcfg-eth0 it
says ARP=NO. As soon as I learn to edit, I'll fix that and try again :)
"man ifconfig"
I have never specified "arp" on ifconfig.
Thanks again...
Robert
Unless you have a totally flat network (ie, everything on one segment, a
Bad Idea), then this is the missing piece. This Linux doesn't know how
to reply to things that aren't on it's own subnet without a default gw.
Check 'ifconfig -a' to make sure the broadcast address is correct for
the subnet it's on (should be the same as any other machine on that
network), and check 'netstat -r' to ensure you have a default route
(it'll show up as a route for 0.0.0.0)
If the output from ifconfig looks ok, then use 'route add default
x.y.z.q metric 1' and you should be up and running.
