IP Setup on SCO 5

[jlancton]

Hello,

I've got a SCO 5 server running, clients access via a Telnet application. A remote office connects via a pair of Cisco routers, however clients on the remote subnet cannot ping or telnet to the SCO box. (Windows PC's on the remote subnet can communicate with the NT server at the central site, so IP/routers are working.) From the remote office, if I telnet into the main office router, then open a telnet to the SCO box from there, it works, which leads me to believe that maybe the SCO box has an incorrect default gateway setting, but being a unix novice, I have no idea where to look for it. I ran netconfig, but it only let me configure ip address, subnet mask, and brodcast. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

-Jeff

Try netstat -r to show your current routing tables.
If the default is not there you may need to add it using
route add (see route man page for full syntax)

Also check /etc/hosts.allow to make sure the rmeote network is allowed to login to SCO. ***************************************
Party on, dudes!

you can use the route command to add a gateway to your unix host. do a man on route to get the details.

Thanks for all the answers! There was no route, which after reading the faq I was able to add. Thanks again to all who answered.
