I'm embarrassed to even ask but...
A client's AIX 4.3 system feeds into a Windows 2000 server which then sends
traffic to the router. All was well until my last reboot. After reboot, I
discovered:
- a bad hostname I had experimented with had stuck so the hostname needed to
be changed
- the default gateway had not been recorded as a permanent setting
I have since restored these two pieces of information and all is well except
that it is not routing traffic properly. (Internal TCP/IP traffic is
working fine.) The W2K box lists as the default on my netstat listing. I can
ping the W2K box. But, though they resolve properly (ala DNS), I cannot
ping outside addresses. In doing a traceroute, it bombs on the first hop.
What am I missing?
