Hi,
Problem: I delete my
default 44.0.0.0 route or change it to a different gateway machine, and the
machine can no longer connect to it's own services!
Details:-
My main Linux
box 'router' (using RH5.2 + ax25-utils-2.1.42a) has been running fine for ages.
This machine also runs a convers server, which can be connected to either by the
conv command from the Node, or externally via Netrom as
'nnconv'.
I have recently set
up am internet gateway on another machine ('gate' with RH6.0 using kernel ipip
& tunl0). I have just got the full Gateways route list added to this setup
today, and everything works fine from this machine...
To allow local users
to access the new 44.xxxx routes, I need to change (on 'router') the default
44.0.0.0 route to use 'gate' as a gateway. That route is currently set via a
radio link to another system (which is off air at the moment
anyway).
As soon as I make
any changes to the 44.0.0.0 net route, I get 'no route to host' when trying to
connect to the convers server! Nor can I ping 'router' from it's own
console.
The kernel IP
address is 44.131.57.214, all radio ports are using 44.131.57.225 (There are
three ethernet interfaces on 214, 215 & 216 with 'gate' [57.213] on
216).
There is no visible
route to 44.131.57.225, but it can not be actually using the existing net route
via ax0 as there is no system on the other end of that link!
If I add a route to
44.131.57.225 using 'lo' as the interface, I can then ping it, but it still
won't connect to the convers server - axconv gives a 'broken pipe'
error.
Any ideas
appreciated!
