Hi out there!
This is a message I get now and then, when installing networks. But I
have yet to find out what exactly it means and how to proceed to a
working ethernet connection from there on.
I now came over this one when installing a network card in my box at
home. I set up the if, the routes (are done by the kernel itself
nowadays) and try to ping the other box (a laptop). I get:
mmutz@adam:~ > ping 192.168.0.67
PING 192.168.0.67 (192.168.0.67): 56 data bytes
ping: sendto: Operation not permitted
ping: wrote 192.168.0.67 64 chars, ret=-1
ping: sendto: Operation not permitted
ping: wrote 192.168.0.67 64 chars, ret=-1
on the other end I am getting just a waiting ping. Do I probably have to
reboot with the laptop connected to the net so's the card driver in my
home box can determine the media?
here's what the setup looks like - in detail:
adam is the home box:
root@adam:~ > ifconfig

dirichlet is the laptop and works in the inet environment found at the
university and does not emit the above messages when configured as
192.168.0.67/24.
Please advice,
Marc
