I get can't assign requested address. Netmask is > 255.255.255.248. Other port ping just fine XXX.XXX.41.1 on de2. Any help Hm...First of all, where are you trying to SSH from? If you're able to SSH from *another* box, that's a good sign. And as for pinging, where are you trying to ping from -- the box with de2, or another box entirely? Also, can you show the output of "ifconfig de2"? Thanks, Hugh -- Saint Aardvark the Carpeted aardvark@saintaardvarkthecarpeted.com Because the plural of Anecdote is Myth.
