Hello Linuxers,
I try to install networking in SLS .99pl12. I've installed packages a + b1 (that includes tcpip). I then modified the file /etc/hosts like this:
146.136.1.99 modem1
146.136.1.0 network
I set /etc/host to modem1
and /etc/domain to ntb.ch
the I did a reboot:
by executing /etc/rc.net there is the following error message:
SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable
if I do a /etc/ifconfig all seems to look proper.
I tried to start networking without /etc/rc.net by first installing loopback device and the device eth0.
ifconfig eth0 146.136.1.99 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 146.136.1.255
(netmask is correct)
route add 146.136.1.99 ----> SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable
the ethernet card is a WD8003 and is correctly detected at boot time.
What's Wrong ???
Please send e-mail
thanks thomas
