Date: Sun, 17 Mar 96 19:59:07 GMT Organization: Teleport Internet Services Corp. Lines: 158 Message-ID: <4ii5el$a07@nadine.teleport.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: ip-pdx08-03.teleport.com X-Newsreader: News Xpress Version 1.0 Beta #3 I recently got my domain registration and a range of ip addresses from my ISP, and proceded to change my addresses to the assigned numbers. However in the process, I either lost my mind, or forgot one critical peice of the network puzzle (see sysconfig below). Upon reboot I get the following messages: ed0: Flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,DUPLEX> mtu 1500 inet 206.251.72.5 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 206.251.72.255 lo0: flags=8009<UP,LOOPBACK,MULTICAST>mtu 16384 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 Writing to routing socket: File exists Add net 206.251.72.3: gateway phil.pbgi.com:File exists writing to routing socket: File exists add host phil.pbgi.com: gateway localhost: File exists configuring host as gateway net.inet.ip.forwarding: 0 -> 1 Now when I ping phil (as listed in my hosts) I get a no route to host error message. I can ping the ip address directly OK... as well with other addresses on the net. Can someone help me! sysconfig network section: ######################### Start Of Netconfig Section ####################### # Set to the name of your host - this is pretty important! hostname=phil.pbgi.com # Set to the NIS domainname of your host, or NO if none defaultdomainname=pbgi.com # # Some broken implementations can't handle the RFC 1323 and RFC 1644 # TCP options.
