TCP/IP Configuration on Open Unix 8 with Gateway 1

[billdoyle]

I have a new installation on our intranet. It has been assigned an ip address of 10.60.44.XX6. I can ping other machines on the 10.60.44.XXX network, but cannot see machines on the 10.60.45.XXX network, or any others that are outside the .44. I am new to Open unix, and am really fighting this problem. Other machines on the .44 network (win98 with dhcp) can ping across the .45 boundary, so I am sure the gateway itself is working. When I enabled dhcp on the unix box, it could see across the boundary also, but did not have the right IP address. What am I doing wrong here?

Thanks in advance for the help.

I forgot to add, the address of the gateway is 10.60.44.XX3, if that helps any. I can also ping it from the unix box, and from the PC's that I am wanting to telnet in to the unix box from.

It sounds like you just haven't added a default route.

Try route add default 10.4.60.44.XX3 (i.e. the address of your gateway.

If that works create a script called /etc/rc2.d/S99route containing that line so that it takes effect every time you boot. Annihilannic.
