I am setting up the following configuration: Gateway PC (Dopey) has a wd8003 ethernet card connected to the 141 subnet. Client PC (Sleepy) connected via an RS-232 cable to Gateway, the conection is from com2 to com2 . Both PC's are diskless 286's with 1 Flopy Drive and 512k of memory. These are the configuration files: Gateway: ----------------- hostname dopey.ucop.edu ip address [128.48.144.8] attach asy 0x2f8 3 ppp nt2 8092 576 9600 # this is com2 on 144 subnet ip address [128.48.141.8] attach packet 0x65 nt1 10 1500 # this is on the 141 subnet ifconfig nt1 netmask 0xffffff00 ip 128.48.141.8 broadcast 128.48.141.255 ifconfig nt2 netmask 0xffffff00 ip 128.48.144.8 broadcast 128.48.144.255 route add [128.48.141]/24 nt1 route add [128.48.144]/24 nt2 route add default nt1 [128.48.141.100] # incorporate the local nameserver for lookups # domain addserver [128.48.141.1] #nile # for broadcasts to work! # arp add [128.48.141.255] ether ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff arp add [128.48.144.255] ether ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff # some standard parameters ip ttl 255 # was 16 tcp mss 1024 # was 216 tcp window 4096 # 1500 # # start up the servers start telnet start smtp start ftp start echo start discard start finger start rip rip add [128.48.141.255] 30 1 rip add [128.48.144.255] 30 1 # domain cache size 150 domain suffix ucop.edu Client: ------------------- hostname sleepy.ucop.edu ip address [128.48.144.2] attach asy 0x2f8 3 ppp nt1 8092 576 9600 # this is com2 on 144 subnet ifconfig nt1 netmask 0xffffff00 ip 128.48.144.2 broadcast 128.48.144.255 route add [128.48.144]/24 nt1 route add default nt1 [128.48.144.8] # incorporate the local nameserver for lookups # domain addserver [128.48.141.1] #nile # # for broadcasts to work! arp add [128.48.144.255] ether ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff # some standard parameters ip ttl 255 tcp mss 1024 tcp window 4096 # # start up the servers start telnet start smtp start ftp start echo start discard start finger start rip rip add [128.48.144.255] 30 1 # domain cache size 150 domain suffix ucop.edu from nile( 128.48.141.1 ) I can ping 141.8 and 144.8, but I can't ping 144.2 ( client ). Upon turning the traces on, nothing is recorded, when I ping 144.2 from 144.8 or vice-versa. If, I change ppp to slip, I still can't ping 144.2, but whenthe tracing is on, there is rip output on 144.8 and it is received by 144.2, 144.2 does not generate any rip output. If I ping 144.2( client ) from 144.8/141.8, the trace shows output being sent, received by 144.2, 144.2 sends a packet and it's never received by 144.8 . If I ping 144.8 from 144.2, there is output being sent from 144.2( client ) and it is never received by 144.8 (gateway). In this case, it's clear that the link 144.8 -> 144.2 is working but 144.2 -> 144.8 is not. My purpose of doing this to test the routing between an ethernet and a serial line. Is that the best way to do it ? Any suggestions as to why the current settings are not working? Many Thanks in Advance Camille Kayruzian, opschk@ganges.ucop.edu 415 987 03 62
