Re: [Plug] Two networking questions...


Ok, this is too weird. First, I've NEVER done this before (if you
haven't figured that out all ready.) Please bear with me...

When I ran ifconfig just now, I got the following:

lo        Link encap:Local Loopback  
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:3924  Metric:1
          RX packets:142 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:142 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:80:C7:6A:69:BA  
          inet addr:192.168.0.1  Bcast:192.168.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 
          Interrupt:3 Base address:0x2e0 

ppp0      Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol  
          inet addr:REMOVED  P-t-P:REMOVED  Mask:255.255.255.255
          UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST  MTU:1006  Metric:1
          RX packets:92 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:89 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 

If I am reading this right, both eth0 and ppp0 are running fine, well
almost.

netstat -rn gave me the following:

Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags   MSS Window  irtt

eth0
192.168.0.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U         0 0          0
eth0
127.0.0.0       0.0.0.0         255.0.0.0       U         0 0          0

ppp0

To ask something really silly, shouldn't the two entries for eth0 look
something like ppp0? (i.e. destination and gateway reversed.)

When I checked netcfg, it told me that the eth0 interface was active.
When I get the computer I want to talk to working right I'll see.
(Anyone know how to get network card drivers working under Win3.1?  :)

About the only think I can figure is that I accidentally pulled the
ethernet pc card out when I was disconnecting the modem cable. When I
re-inserted it pcmcia-cs automatically runs the network startup script.
The really funny part is that up until then the network startup script
always failed. :\

(Sorry about the lenght of this...)

Here are the /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/ppp/options files:

/etc/resolv.conf
