Hi,
since I use the 2.2.0, I have the following problem setting up
a pointopoint connection.
Example:
command:
ifconfig eth0 172.16.0.1 pointopoint 172.16.0.2
result:
SIOCSIFDSTADDR: Invalid argument
command:
ifconfig
result:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:A0:24:51:52:03
inet addr:172.16.0.1 Bcast:172.16.255.255 Mask:255.255.0.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:4 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:4
collisions:0
by the way: ifconfig -V
net-tools 1.49
ifconfig 1.37 (1998-12-05)

So how do I set up a pointopoint connection directly ???

cheers
browny
