I'm trying to set up a local lan between two of my linux boxes. On one (I will call it the server), there is a wireless connection to the outside world. In addition. I have turned on ip forwarding (via the proc file system) and set a static ip address of 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 on eth0. On the other, I have set a static ip address of 10.0.0.2 on eth0, netmask 255.255.255.0. I also tried adding a gatewat address of 10.0.0.1, and also tried omitting the gateway. There is a physical ethernet cable connecting the two machines. in either case, the two machines cannot ping each other (destination host unreachable). If I do a netstat -r, as well as the default gateway route across wan 0 (on the server only), I see entries on both machines for 10.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 eth0 and also link-local 255.255.0.0 eth0. What is this last entry, and is it the cause of my problems? Have I omitted some important step? NetworkManager is managing the wireless network, but I am activating the eth0 manually (using the Activate button on the network control gui). -- Colin Adams Preston Lancashire -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
