Hello everyone.
I'm trying to configure my NetBSD/i386 box to use a static slip line. I
issue the following commands:
slattach -h -s 38400 /dev/tty00
ifconfig sl0 137.28.225.242 137.28.2.1 netmask 0xffff0000 up
route add default 137.28.2.1
which works fine on my Mac running a post 1.2 netbsd kernel. However, on
the PC running a custom 1.2 kernel I get a "no route to host" error when I
try to ping / telnet / etc.
I've been playing with this for quite awhile and I'm running out of
ideas here. Can anyone help me?
Info
------
The PC is running a custom NetBSD 1.2 kernel, but I had the same problem
with GENERICOTHER 1.2 and 1.2.1
The Mac was running a post 1.2 -current kernel from around November.

Thanks in advance for any help.....
