[Oscar-users] rsync: failed to connect to 196... Network is unreachable

Title: rsync: failed to connect to 196... Network is unreachable

Dear all,
I am trying to set up oscar 2.3.1 on a RH9.0 box to serve an similar AMD pc.

The installation appears to complete without too much trouble.

When I boot up the client node, it sees the server and takes
up the IP address assigned by the server over DHCP as expected.

But some way down, it fails when it tries to

rsync -av 196.168.0.0::boot/i386/standard/boel_binaries.tar.gz  /tmp/beol_binaries

with the error:
rsync: failed to connect to 196.168.0.0: Network unreachable.
(196.168.0.0 is the server address on eth1, the client is 196.168.0.1).

It then aborts and shows a # prompt.

But from the #sh, I can ping 196.168.0.0
The /tmp/beol_binaries directory is present too.

On the server (196.168.0.0), I have checked:
a. the rsync daemon is up and running,
b.  I can repeat the above command to copy the boel_binaries.tar.gz to its local /tmp directory.

Any idea what is causing this? 

PS. Pls email your response to [EMAIL PROTECTED] as well.
Many thanks. <<...OLE_Obj...>>
