I believe that ppp0 is the default gateway on my p166.
ppp0? I'm a freebsd person myself, not linux, but isn't ppp0 the SLIP/PPP
interface over a serial connection? I thought we were talking ethernet
here...
Trying 192.168.1.2...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: No route to host
Aha...
How can you have an IP address/subnetmask on the interface without getting a
network (192.168.1.0) route via your ethernet interface? Since there's no
route to the host, just show us the output of a "netstat -rn" (that's a - r
n not a -m) on each machine and that will show the problem for sure. Also,
in your configuration I would suggest not running any routing daemon
(routed, gated, etc.) - they'll just get in the way.
