Interesting network problem

[mindwarp.out]

Ok.. I got 3 debian boxes... 1 on 2.4, and 2 on 2.2.17... now here is what happens:

192.168.1.1 (debian 2.4 kernel) tries to ping the other 2 boxes, and they wont ping. When I tried to telnet it said no route to host.

Now I go over to 192.168.1.2(Debian box #1 2.2.17) and I ping 192.168.1.1, and now suddenly both boxes can see eachother again.

192.168.1.1 still cant see 192.168.1.3 though, but when I go over to 192.168.1.3, and ping 192.168.1.1, suddenly they see eachother again.

So basically I have to ping 192.168.1.1 from the other 2 boxes to have 192.168.1.1 see them..

And the entire time 192.168.1.2 & 192.168.1.3 can see eachother... hrm?

It sounds like you need to add the routes to both other computers in you 2.4 box and have it come up in that configuration. Try that and let me know. :D

Well I have the route in for 192.168.1.0/24 and 255.255.255.0... It perplexes me.. another guy here at the office said its almost 100% a 2.4 issue probably.. hrm
