Hello
I have tried to set up a two-computer ethernet network, but no matter
what I try, I get "no route to host". I tried to fix the routing
problem without success. I hope that you could help me.
I have two computers conected with thin ethernet cable. Not twisted pair.
Both computers have ne2000 compatible ISA-bus ethernet cards and they are
set up correctly. (Both dmesg and netconf give the same base address
and irq for the card, and yes, the cable is there with terminators
and all. They use the ne-driver.)
When trying to access the another host both telnet and ftp give the
following error message: "no route to host"
On the other hand I can telnet and ftp to the "local" host (both) without
problems.
Ifconfig reports collisions. (what is that?)
_____________________
MORE INFO:
On both computers ifconfig says something like:
eth0: UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST ...
TX errors 120 ... carrier 120
collisions 2040 ... txqueuelen 100 ...
Both computers have identical /etc/hosts
192.168.1.1 loota.localdomain loota
192.168.1.10 toosa.localdomain toosa
netstat -r gives:
on "toosa" 192.168.1.10:
destination gateway genmask flags mss window Irtt Iface
192.168.1.10 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 eth0
192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
default loota.localdomain 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
on "loota" 192.168.1.1:
destination gateway genmask flags mss windows Irtt Iface
192.168.1.1 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 eth0

127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
"loota" also has a modem for ppp-connections to internet.
So, where is the problem? It seems that everything sent to the
ethernet card disappears somewhere.
Thanks for any help.
