I recently got my domain registration and a range of ip addresses from my
ISP, and proceded to change my addresses to the assigned numbers.
However in the process, I either lost my mind, or forgot one critical peice
of the network puzzle (see sysconfig below). Upon reboot I get the following
messages:
ed0: Flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,DUPLEX> mtu 1500
inet 206.251.72.5 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 206.251.72.255
lo0: flags=8009<UP,LOOPBACK,MULTICAST>mtu 16384
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
Writing to routing socket: File exists
Add net 206.251.72.3: gateway phil.pbgi.com:File exists
writing to routing socket: File exists
add host phil.pbgi.com: gateway localhost: File exists
configuring host as gateway
net.inet.ip.forwarding: 0 -> 1
Now when I ping phil (as listed in my hosts) I get a no route to host error
message. I can ping the ip address directly OK... as well with other
addresses on the net.
Can someone help me!
