I'm having trouble with the routing tables on my PowerBook, which shares a local network with a PC, both running Linux. Here are the symptoms: 1. ifconfig looks fine -- identical on both machines, except for the IP and NIC ID numbers. 2. ppp works fine. 3. The PC can ping the PowerBook, so it is on the network. 4. When the PowerBook is running MacOS, it can ping the PC, so the problem is limited to Linux. 5. When I run route (as root) on the PowerBook, nothing happens. The headers appear, but no entries appear at all, and I have to press ctrl-C to get my prompt back. 6. When I run netcfg (as root) on the PowerBook and try to save any changes, I get the following error on the console: SIOCDELRT: No such process SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable The real kicker is that I don't remember changing anything when this problem began! :-( Yesterday I got it working briefly by logging into KDE as root and running netcfg from there. Then I logged back in as myself and was able to connect to the PC perfectly and transfer some files. Then I dialed in with ppp, and as soon as my local network connections timed out, I was unable to reopen them because the problem had returned. So is ppp to blame? How? What else should I try? --Ben
