ssh: connect to host cse port 22: Network is unreachable
I see network activity in gkrellm and I see ARP packets with ethereal,
so the link is ok. So I look at the routing table, and I see no default
gateway:
12) root:~> route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
24.35.40.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.248.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
I have absolutely no idea where the 168.254.0.0 came from. I did see this
happening in windows, a long time ago. All I did in the network
configuration tool was to click on get IP automatically with dhcp.
The 169.254 address is part of the zeroconf (zero configuration)
project. It can be ignored or better yet disabled. It is not needed
and does nothing for anyone. :)
As you already figured out you don't have a default gateway setup.
