Can someone help me with my routing table?
Linux box: 172.239.21.23
Win95: 172.239.21.21 (also 172.239.21.20)
Win98: 172.239.21.24 (connected to 172.239.21.20 on Win95 box)
OS/2: 172.239.21.25
At this point, they can all talk to each other and Samba (default stuff)
works.
(ping, ftp, and sharing resources works) Telnet does not work, but one
thing
at a time.
However, my PPP connection doesn't work correctly in Linux Mandrake 6.1
package. I connect fine, I can ping the address I get and seem to ping
other
addresses in that domain. However, I cannot get further than this. I
send
packets, but get no packets back at all. After reading books and books
and
How-to and FAQ and everything else I can find, it seems to come down to
routing. But I don't know exactly what my routing table should look
like and
how to make it stay that way. A few weeks ago, I tried RH 6.0 package
and
I had PPP working fine, but nothing else could talk.
Can someone please edit the attached routing table to make it work so I
know what to force it to be? What files to edit and what to make them
be?
At this point, I think I can only make things worse on my own. Please
include
exact commands if I have to *do* things. Saying edit xxx and change it
to
the following lines... I can handle that. But everything else, I'm just
not getting
it. The FAQs, How-tos and books seem to contradict each other, or be
talking
about an older version of things, or another distribution. I try to
follow each one's
help and editing/checking files, but all I can manage to do is to make
everything
stop working.
I'll format and reinstall if that helps and I know what to put into each
of the
little files to make this all work. I can use linuxconf, but netcfg
gives me
errors (I think it's a $DISPLAY thing is not setup, since I have to put
in
video drivers by hand).
Here is what the routing table looks like with PPP "up":
Kernel IP routing table

Also, when the Linux system boots, I get this route in the table, but
have to
delete it so the linux box and win boxes will talk. I don't know why
it's there.

Here is what ifconfig looks like:

pppd is version 2.3.8
Here is a part of the log file:

The "unsupported protocol" messages above are supposed to be ok to
ignore?
