Hi Mike,
My test results are as follows
1) WinME Box
On MS-DOS
>ping 172.34.34.38
Pinging 172.34.34.38 with 32 bytes of data
Destination host unreachable
Destination host unreachable
Destination host unreachable
Destination host unreachable
Ping statistics for 172.34.34.38:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 0, Lost = 4 (100% loss),
Apporximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 0ms, Average = 0ms
2) RH7.3 box
As root
# ping 172.34.34.38
connect: Network is unreachable
I started WinME box first and then RH7.3 box. Both
boxes are connected via a crossover cable, the
broadband cable to the second LAN card on WinME box
disconnected. On RH7.3 box, while loading I found ;
Bringing up interface eth0 <Failed>
How to check which entry to find out the cause
connection problem ???
Thanks in advance.
Stephen
