I tried with different netmasks, /30, /31, /32, /0 and without specifying a netmask. As mentioned in a previous mail, the interface shows up as configured, also the routing table looks good to me. ifconfig upl0 inet 10.200.200.1 10.200.200.2 netmask 255.255.255.252 up ping 10.200.200.1 the ping command returns with no route to host... I am unable to ping the local ip on the local upl0 interface. Regardless which netmask i have configured, shouldn't I be able to ping the local configured IP? I plugged the cable into a linux host, the device was recognized as the following: Mar 2 07:26:03 linux kernel: usb 4-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2 Mar 2 07:26:03 linux /etc/hotplug.d/usb/50-usb.hotplug[16124]: cat: /sys//devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.3/usb4/4-1/product: No such file or directory Mar 2 07:26:04 linux kernel: usb0: register usbnet at usb-0000:00:1d.3-1, Prolific PL-2301/PL-2302, f6:d5:9f:cb:1a:5c Mar 2 07:26:04 linux kernel: usbcore: registered new driver usbnet Mar 2 07:26:10 linux ifup: No configuration found for usb0 This was a suse linux host, so yast came up, asking whether I want to configure the new network card. Linux takes the device as a network card, not as a point-to-point device. after assigning a ip address I was able to ping the local ip of the usb device. I am a bit clueless why it is in linux a ordinary network interface and in openbsd a point-to-point interface. greetings lars -- "Feel free" mit GMX FreeMail!
