I've been having a very puzzling problem setting up a home LAN.
I can ping localhost, and I can ping my ethernet card without problems. I
have swapped out the card itself, changed IRQ & IO address, and checked the
cable and hub. Right now the card is a WD8013.
I'm only trying to get two machines to talk to each other via ethernet, so
my routing table is very short and sweet.
/sbin/route -n
DESTINATION GW MASK FLAGS METRIC .... DEV
192.168.0.2 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.255 UGH 1 ...
eth0
192.168.0.0 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0 UG 1
... eth0
127.0.0.1 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0
... lo
(as you can see I typed it instead of cat - this is being typed on my Win98
box)
My Linux box (was RH6.2, now RH7.0) is 192.168.0.1, the Win98 box I want to
ping is 192.168.0.2. When I ping the Win98 box I get this error:
ping 192.168.0.2 -n
(the -n switch forces ping to use the numeric address, instead of trying to
find an alias)
PING 192.168.0.2 FROM 192.168.0.1:
>From (192.168.0.1): Destination Host Unreachable
Since my routing table looks good to me, /etc/hosts has the correct entries
and I test numerically anyway, the only thing that I can think of is that
there is a resource conflict with the card somewhere.
But if I cat /proc/interrupts I don't get a full list of IRQs. cat
/proc/pci fills in some of the missing numbers but not all of them. I also
have a modem on this machine which is jumpered to IRQ 3, and I don't see
that IRQ listed anywhere (even though my ethernet card shows up in
/proc/interrupts). Is there another place to find a list of ALL of the
IRQs?
And where can I find a list of I/O addresses to see if anything else is
trying to use 0x300? Any other suggestions welcome.
This is a fresh install of RH7.0 as of about two hours ago, so there
shouldn't be any legacy settings to worry about. (I was kinda hoping that
the problem would go away with RH6.2, so did a clean install instead of an
upgrade.)
Cheers,
