I'm one of those superstitious types who never, ever, ever uses domain names
in route. IP addresses only. While I don't know what your
particular network setup is, make sure that mcgee.infi.net is in your
/etc/hosts file. Better yet, don't use the name for your route add, use
the IP address. In another VT, try using "tcpdump" to debug the connection
("tcpdump icmp" might be a good place to start.)
Good luck.

> I'm having a rather tough time configuring our SLIP connection. I basically followed the directions in the SLIP.FAQ but I have not been able to get it to work. I can login without any problems into the SLIP server but cannot get the machines to talk to each other. I have included various outputs of netstat, ifconfig and ping. Any input on this would be appreciated.
