Hello this is my first post at this forum.
Apologize for my lack of network understanding
but Im posting to learn.
I have a problem reaching default gateway 10.18.110.1
If I use my laptop I can ping 10.18.110.1 but with our red hat multihomed server the gateway does not respond to ping.
cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 3 (Taroon Update 6)
So I I think its a routing problem but I can not tell if the below is correct or not.
root@telfrm network-scripts]# netstat -rn

why do eth3,4and 5 show up, I dont have any ifcfg-ethx file for them.
[root@telfrm network-scripts]# more /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
10.18.110.23 telfrm.mycomp.es telfrm
more /etc/sysconfig/network
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=telfrm
DOMAINNAME=mycomp.es
GATEWAY=10.18.110.1
I had a friend having a look and he thougt the routing table was okey.
Any suggestions are welcome.
Regards
Jan
