"No route to host" on RH 8.0 + W2K LAN
 
I'm trying to connect to a windows 2000 box from RH8.0 on a LAN behind a firewall. I don't know much about networking, but I'm getting the "no route to host" error. Here's my routing table:

Code:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination    Gateway        Genmask        Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
134.174.151.0  *              255.255.255.0  U    0      0        0 eth0
127.0.0.0      *              255.0.0.0      U    0      0        0 lo
default        134.174.151.1  0.0.0.0        UG    0      0        0 eth0
I'm trying to connect to 134.174.151.138

Thanks!

You've configured a network address (*.0) on an interface. That's likely to arse up your setup right now.

The network you're connected to, has a configurable IP range from 134.174.151.1 to 134.174.151.254

*.1 is the router (apparently)

so you need to find a free IP address between *.2 and *.254

Unless your netmask of 255.255.255.0 is incorrect and you *do* have a LAN larger than 254 usable IP addresses.

Do you mean that I need to define my own IP address in the routing table? I am using DHCP -- does that change things? (Sorry, should have mentioned that before...)

Your DHCP server has assigned you that IP address???
...

Can you ping the gateway address....?

Yes, I can ping 134.171.154.1

Whoops, yes I can ping 134.174.151.1 (!)

D'Oh! I misread your routing table. Of course that's the network address, it's supposed to list that.

codeape 02-19-2004 11:57 AM
Your routing table looks ok. Do you know the address of the DHCP server? Can you ping that?

Problem solved: the IP address that I was given for the W2K box was incorrect -- argh! Sorry for the trouble!! And thanks for your efforts!
