On teh Desktop I have kernel 2.1.124 and on the laptop is 2.0.35
Here's what the dekstop says (from ifconfig):
inet addr:192.168.2.1 P-t-P:192.168.2.2 Mask:255.255.255.255
UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MTU:1500 Metric:1
And This is from teh ifconfig on the laptop (2.0.35):
inet addr:192.168.2.2 P-t-P:192.168.2.1 Mask:255.255.255.0
UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MTU:1500 Metric:1
Now the route commandlines both use 255.255.255.0 as a netmask (and yes,
route deduces teh network class on its own, this would be Class C) so,
shouldn't the netmask be 255.255.255.0 on both?
I noticed there is a difference in version of teh plip.c source (2.2
against 2.3) and I'm goignt o diff them after I update net-tools (just to
secure my own curiosities) on teh 2.0.35 system.
But, my question, (before I go spelunking in plipc) is the netmask right
on the 2.1.124 system? (is that what it is expected to be, rather).
Do note that the plip connection has been wroking fine for about, hmmsay 3
hours.
