Dear All, I'm a newbie to Linux and I'm not sure if this problem is appropriate to this list, if not, my apologies to the list, however I am beginning to beleive this is a routing problem. I'm trying to get TCP/IP running on my system, I have a DLINK 530TX, Linux says it running ok, I'm currently running Corel 1.2 previously Mandrake 7.1 which had exactly the same result (thought I'd try another distrib). The box can ping itself, but nothing else. I have the Linux box set as follows: Ip Addr 192.168.1.1 Netmask 255.255.255.0 Gateway 192.168.1.2 I have a win2k machine connected via a crossover cable that works fine (I can connect the to machines OK when I boot the Linux box into Windows 98 or 2000). The win2k has TCP/IP set as follows Ip Addr 192.168.1.2 Netmask 255.255.255.0 NO gateway. If I try and ping the linux box from WIn2k I get Timeouts. IF I try to ping the win2k machine from Linux I get no error messages just 100% packet loss. ifconfig -a shows as follows: lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:3924 Metric:1 RX packets:55 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:55 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 Collisions:0 eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:50:BA:07:2F:34 inet addr:192.168.1.1 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:8 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:7 errors:201 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 Collisions:0 Interrupt:9 Base address:0x6500 Any help anyone can give would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
