I've been trying to setup SLIP with minor success. The latest problem involves the following error: sendto: No route to host To make this happen, I do the startslip, run trn, and ftp to any site. After a few minutes, my RXD light on my modem stops. I'll try restarting the ftp session and get the error. However, if I try and ftp to the internet provider it works. With ping, the name gets resolved to an IP number, but the error comes up for any host. A related issue is when I started the SLIP account I was told to set my max MTU to 296. I did so in netstart for the ifconfig line for sl0. Also, the TCP MSS is supposed to be set to 256. Where is this set? The internet provider said that Linux does this automaticly. Other than that, SLIP is working. It's definitly a step-up from a shell account. =) EVB
