  • Date: Fri, 16 May 2003 21:05:44 +0700

Finaly got so far as to connect my P100 with my Pentium II.
On the P100 I run BL2, on the Pentium II SuSe 8.1.

I have called my home network constant.net
The P100 is called p100 and the Pentium II is called bigone.
I have a dialup to my isp and I am running postfix on the bigone.
Mailtransport from p100 should run via bigone. The two are connected
with a twisted cable.

I have the feeling that something is not right or missing. Have no
idea what or where so I have attached the results of my search.
What is wrong and where do I have to repair it?

Both ethernet cards are recognised. The email transport via the dial
up from bigone works.
Pinging from the one to the other is not working.
Resulting info from ping from p100:

PING bigone.constant.net (192.168.1.1): 56 data bytes
ping: sendto: Network is unreachable

from Suse (bigone) I get more or less the same info:

PING p100.constant.net (192.168.1.2) from 192.168.1.1 : 56(84) bytes
of data.
From bigone.constant.net (192.168.1.1): icmp_seq=1 Destination Host
Unreachable

route -n gives me following for bigone:

Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0

p100 gives following:

Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo

ifconfig -a for the Suse box gives following info:
