I had some network problems - winXX computers couldn't see my computer. Happened somewhere after linux-2.1.24...
nonworking form: route add -net 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev eth0 gw 192.168.0.46
working form: route add -net 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev eth0
there's also: route add default gw 192.168.0.46
Can you see the difference? :)
nonworking route Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.0.0 mauve.computers 255.255.255.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 192.168.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 32767 0 0 eth0 default mauve.computers 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
working route: Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 default mauve.computers 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
This info is for those who were also stumped by the problem :)
Anyone know why the "metric 32767" showed up? incidentally, multicasting ends up enabled on the device regardless of kernel option.... I tried disabling it. [ifconfig eth0 -multicast] worked though. (although it had no effect...)
TIA and G'day, eh? :) - Teunis
