[ale] Networking Problems

It sounds like you don't have a suitable route.

assuming your ethernet address is 192.168.1.44...

assuming `ifconfig` says:
  lo 127.0.0.1 mask 255.0.0.0
  eth0 192.168.1.44 mask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255

then `route -n` should say:
  192.168.1.44 * 255.255.255.255 eth0
  192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 eth0
  127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 lo

if you have a gateway at 192.168.1.254, then `route -n` should also say:
  0.0.0.0 192.168.1.254 0.0.0.0 eth0

    This is basically a continuation of the first email I sent.  The
problem basically boils down to how to get Redhat 5.2 to interact on a
peer to peer network consisting of win95 machines.  I can ping my
computer from my computer, but I can not ping the linux box from another
workstation nor can I ping another workstation.  We do not use DNS,
bootp or dhcp.  Everyone is assigned a static ip.  No outside
connections like the Internet.  There are 3 offices connected via a
router/isdn, but that is a matter to tackle once this is done.  Where
can I look to try to figure this out?  It's got to be something simple I
am overlooking.
