We are trying to get 2 unix boxes networked together using slip. SERVER Client ========== ========= | HP-817 | | PC | | HP-UX9.0 |<------------->| FreeBSD | | ppl-SLIP | |slattach | ========== ========= Everything is working perfectly on the Client side (thanks to some previous help), but we are having problems pinging the client from the server side. The link has to be bi-directional and it is not. My questions are on the HP side: Is there something that has to be set up in-order to do this? Do we have to set up the interface using ifconfig? If I do a netstat -i on the HP side, there is no link to the client ni0 is used for loopback and ni1 down. btw:( ni0/1 ~ sl0/1) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Robert Burns (rjbproc@vir.com) Mtl., Ca. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
