Are you able to do rsh <host-name-ip-address> ?

What does your routing table shows ??
please post the output of

Code:

ip rou ls

this what i get when using ( ip rou ls )
10.1.1.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 10.1.1.20

by the way 10.1.1.20 is my choosen static ip for my pc.

(rsh host-name-ip-address) results the same --> no route to host.

waiting for replay..

Checkout whether the host ip (in your /etc/hosts)for whom you are doing rsh is in your LAN class(10.1.1.*) or not ?

If it is out of your LAN class then you got to add a static route to that box or mention a default gateway at your box.
