Hello to everyone,
I am setting up a machine which uses one class C address on its eth0
while I also have a second Linux box using a different class C address on its
eth0. Both boxes use the same physical segment.
Attempting to get them to talk, I've tried many routing layouts, first
up always something like:
route add -net 198.166.54.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 eth0
for the box using 198.166.55.0 and the reverse :
route add -net 198.166.55.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 eth0
for the box using 198.166.54.0.
Starting imediately after these commands I can ping back and forth no problem,
but attempt to run a telnet or something more will at some point very shortly
thereafter stop any access between the machines.
Oddly I've seen similar behaviour using ipalias too. Ofcourse that becomes a
bit different in the setup.
I was hoping someone wouldn't mind pointing out where my logic is flawing so
that I can get these 2 nets (or atleast these 2 boxes) talking to one another.
Thnxs in advance,
JES
