- General advice for any TCP installation with problems similar to those you
- encounter: Check your IP address to make sure it does not duplicate that of
- another host. Make sure your address is in the correct net and subnet for
- the cable you are on, and make sure the configured netmask is correct.
- Finally, check your configured broadcast address for consistency with the
- other hosts on your subnet.
-
- If you want to route off your subnet, make sure you have an appropriate
- router configured in, or if you want to use wiretapping for routing info,
- make sure that the router is broadcasting a routing protocol that your host
- can understand.
-
- From experience here, I'd say that this is the kind of problem that is best
- solved by a local networking guru who can sit down at your console and _see_
- what is going wrong. :-)
