I am using Slackware 13.37 (official, fresh and full
installation) on my desktop. With Slackware 13.0 I can connect to
the VPN server of my office without any problem. But with Slackware
13.37, when I execute the command `ip route get 172.16.2.13' I get
the following error message: {{{
None of us owns a crystall ball here. So unless you show your actual configuration, no one will be able to help you troubleshoot
My `/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf' is as below. Please let me know if anything else is needed.
Code:
# /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf
#
# This file contains the configuration settings for network interfaces.
# If USE_DHCP[interface] is set to "yes", this overrides any other settings.
# If you don't have an interface, leave the settings null ("").
# You can configure network interfaces other than eth0,eth1... by setting
# IFNAME[interface] to the interface's name. If IFNAME[interface] is unset
# or empty, it is assumed you're configuring eth<interface>.
# Several other parameters are available, the end of this file contains a
# comprehensive set of examples.

Thanks! Could you also give us the contents of /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules?
The content of my `/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules' is:
Code:
# This file was automatically generated by the /lib/udev/write_net_rules
# program, run by the persistent-net-generator.rules rules file.
#
# You can modify it, as long as you keep each rule on a single
# line, and change only the value of the NAME= key.
# PCI device 0x10ec:0x8168 (r8169)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:1d:60:2f:30:5b", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth0"
But on Slackware 13.0 it is:
Code:
# This file was automatically generated by the //lib/udev/write_net_rules
# program, run by the persistent-net-generator.rules rules file.
#
# You can modify it, as long as you keep each rule on a single
# line, and change only the value of the NAME= key.
# PCI device 0x10ec:0x8168 (r8169)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:1d:60:2f:30:5b", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth0"
