The driver configures the serial card as an SPPP network interface. I have two PC's with RISCom cards and I am simply trying to make a connection between the two machines. I have done the proper ifconfig and route configuration calls (I think) and I get the following when I do an ifconfig -a and a netstat -r: (I've excluded the actual IP /ethernet addresses...) machin1# ifconfig -a ep0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet xx.xx.xx.26 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast xx.xx.xx.255 ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx sr0: flags=8051 mtu 1500 inet xx.xx.xx.26 --> xx.xx.xx.176 netmask 0xffffffff sr1: flags=8010 mtu 1500 tun0: flags=8010 mtu 1500 sl0: flags=c010 mtu 552 ppp0: flags=8010 mtu 1500 lo0: flags=8049 mtu 16384 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 machine1# netstat -r Routing tables Internet: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire default default-gateway UGSc 1 0 ep0 localhost localhost UH 0 4 lo0 xx.xx.xx/24 link#1 UC 0 0 machine1 xx:xx:xx:xx:xx UHLW 0 38 lo0 machine2 sr0 UHS 0 8 sr0 When I attempt to ping between the machines, I get: machine1# ping machine2 PING machine2 (xx.xx.xx.176): 56 data bytes ping: sendto: Network is down ping: sendto: Network is down I configured machine2 to speak to machine 1 via its own sr0 interface as well. Do you know what I might be missing in my understanding of how SPPP is used to configure and support the RISCom/N2 card? Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
