That sounds like it might be a flow control of FIFO problem. > [EMAIL PROTECTED] ppp]# /sbin/route add default gw 210.49.225.254 > SIOCADDRT: File exists > [EMAIL PROTECTED] ppp]# /sbin/route > Kernel IP routing table > Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use > Iface > 210.49.225.254 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0 > 169.254.0.0 * 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo > default 210.49.225.254 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 ppp0 OK - so the default route exists - that's good. > >Then try to ping something else. > > > > > no luck, I get the following: > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] ppp]# ping -c3 216.55.97.142 > PING 216.55.97.142 (216.55.97.142) 56(84) bytes of data. > ping: sendmsg: No buffer space available > ping: sendmsg: No buffer space available > ping: sendmsg: No buffer space available > > --- 216.55.97.142 ping statistics --- > 3 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 21087ms OK - a quick google seems to indicate that there's a problem with your kernel buffer space. ulimit -s 10240 is the suggested fix I found - but I'm not guaranteeing this is right.
