1 I can't figure out why `route` and `host` list "ThisAddressDoesNotExist"
2 instead of the ip address. Can anyone help?
3
4 My default route to the internet is ppp0 using Alcatel USB modem. I have
5 an ethernet card that connects to one other local machine.
6
7 ppp0 works OK. I can see the other machine using samba over eth0 but I
8 can't understand the "ThisAddressDoes" in the route table - I guess
9 that's followed by "does not exist". With the same setup on Mandrake,
10 route shows 192.168.1.0 and also lists:
11 127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
