ifconfig eth0 YOURIPHERE broadcast 192.168.1.255 netmask 255.255.255.0 this worked and after this I tryed the route and that too worked. Still i am not able to ping. ifconfig eth0 dispalys the right ip brodcast and netmask for the eth0 device. if I try to ping I get an warning no SO_TIMESTAMP support, failin back to SIOCGSTMP and after that it tell's me Destination host unreachable. -----Original Message----- From: linux-discussion-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:linux-discussion-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of John Madden Sent: Wednesday, April 11, 2001 11:36 AM To: linux-discussion@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [Linux-Discussion] Re: Destination host unreachable On Wednesday 11 April 2001 10:19, you wrote: > `route add default gw 192.168.1.1 netmask 0.0.0.0 metric 1` > > this returned error as below > > SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable Ah, well, the interface isn't getting configured at all then. Just for fun, configure the nic statically (in case it's bad, this will tell us): ifconfig eth0 YOURIPHERE broadcast 192.168.1.255 netmask 255.255.255.0 Then try that route command again. If you still can't get anything, I would guess that the nic is bad. Are you getting any errors from dhcpcd yet? (they'd be in the output of dmesg, syslog, or messages.)
