Help routing
Im setting up a serial line connection and i am unable to ping because it says no host. How do i set up my base local address to be 192.168.2.1? The commands i am running are as follows, slattach -h -l -n -s 19200 /dev/cuaa0 ifconfig sl0 192.168.2.2 192.168.2.3 up Do i need to add a route command like this? route add -net 192.168.2 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0 Thanks for all the help in advance guys, much appreciated.

Bryan Check 'netstat -rn' and see if an appropriate route is in there, if not you'll probably have to add it manually each time you connect. It seems that some types of interfaces create a route automatically (ethernet, for example) while others don't. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Well i added the route command like this, route add -net 192.168.2 localhost 255.255.255.0, this allowed me to ping the 192.168.2.2 side of things but the 192.168.2.3 gave me this error, ping: sendto: Network dropped connection on reset Any ideas? Thanks once again in advance, I am a newbie at this linux stuff, but the one thing I love about is all the help from the community. Thanks :) Bryan Please send the complete output of 'ifconfig' and 'netstat -rn'. I'm wondering if there is a config problem elsewhere that is causing problems with the routing. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If it's not, you can tweak this machine's config forever and never get anywhere. It got a little screwed up in the transmission, i hope this is a little easier to look at.
