Ethernet Questions Date: 23 Jul 1995 17:19:36 GMT Organization: PrimeNet Lines: 21 Message-ID: <3uu0b8$sbb@nnrp2.primenet.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: usr3.primenet.com After fighting the routing tables for a few days (while trying to make two computers connect via a 3c503), I have come to the following dilema: The first computer seems to be setup correctly, I can see with netstat that the second computer's card is being detected (its ethernet address is there). I achieved this result primarily be making the route "default" the second computer's local ip address. I can ping the second computer but when I telent to it, I get a permission denied. Ok, is there something stupid I need to do to resolve this? The second computer has the route "default" already taken by my internet gateway, so I couldn't assign it the first's local ip. Problem there is that because I couldn't do that (and I don't know a way around it), the routing table for this computer does not show the first's ethernet card address. Any suggestions here? Could the above problem be related (probably)? Thanks in advance, Dennis Anfield
