What is that supposed to do?? You were in a hurry I presume, because none of
the commands make sense - sorry
1.) Did You mean:
ifconfig eth0 broadcast 10.16.197.255 up
- It didn't make a change. I said that in the original mail.
2.) The default GW is not the problem.
- When pinging my own interface I don't use routing. But anyway, in the
route table there is the explanation:
/root [root]# route
Kernel routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window Use
Iface
10.16.0.0 * 255.255.254.0 U 1500 0 0 eth0
loopback * 255.0.0.0 U 3584 0 2 lo
- (The local net is wrong - never seen that...)
/root [root]# route del 10.16.196.0
/root [root]# route add localnet eth0
/root [root]# route add default gw 10.16.196.1
/root [root]# route
Kernel routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window Use
Iface
localnet * 255.255.254.0 U 1500 0 3 eth0
loopback * 255.0.0.0 U 3584 0 4 lo
default 10.16.196.1 * UG 1500 0 0 eth0
This works fine now - but
- after a reboot everything is gone
- anyone els using "uneven" masks will have the same prob.
Regards
Dirk
