Redhat 9.1 network problem

acjt · 06-26-2003, 02:16 PM

I've just reinstalled redhat 9.1 on my laptop. all went well, or so I thought. I have sshd installed because I network my two machines.
However, I'm not even able to ping to or from that machine. I opened the security logs, and saw that sshd is started, listening on 0.0.0.0 port 22.
I've set /etc/hosts and resolv.conf so that the machine is listed in both,with ip address 102.168.0.3 (which it was before I resintalled).
I must surely be missing a file or something, but I don't know what it is!
Anyone able to point out what I think is the obvious?

ifconfig shows this for eth0.
inet addr: 192.168.0.3 Bcast: 192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

Try ping yourself (192.168.0.3). If it is OK but can't ping to the other address - check firewall setting.

I can ping self. I turned off the firewall. /etc/init.d/iptables stop
Still, no change

You turn it off on both computers?
Once again describe the connection way (hub/switch, direct cross-over connection).
Post results of 'ifconfig' and 'route -n' for both machines.

Yes, the firewall is off on both of them.
I have them connected via a crossover cable.

I see that the server has two eths.
But I dislike the routing table:

Code:

192.168.0.0    0.0.0.0    255.255.255.0    U 0 0 0 eth0
192.168.0.0    0.0.0.0    255.255.255.0    U 0 0 0 eth1

Same destination for both of eth0 & eth1? Probably the second line is a dummy one.
Looking at the laptop routing table you should have crossover cable between laptop NIC & eth0 in server. Is it done this way?
I dislike also non-zero carrier values which points some transmission problems
