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 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. > >* netstat -r >Routing tables > >Internet: >Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Interface >default mcgee.infi.net UGS 0 3 sl0 >localhost localhost UH 1 3 lo0 >xperts localhost UGHS 0 3 lo0 >mcgee.infi.net xperts UH 1 11 sl0 > >* ifconfig sl0 >sl0: flags=c011<UP,POINTOPOINT,LINK2,MULTICAST> mtu 552 > inet 198.69.156.193 --> 199.0.148.2 netmask 0xffffffc0 > >* ping output >PING mcgee.infi.net (199.0.148.2): 56 data bytes > >--- mcgee.infi.net ping statistics --- >5 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss > >cheers, >Ranjan, >Part time UNIX dweeb >Full time Software Engineer -- ......................................................................
