AIX

Looks like the AIX box has two interfaces, both with IP addresses on the same network. As somebody pointed out in a post not too long ago, this is invalid.
Which IP address is the PC trying to connect to?

There are some very strange static routes too.

Perhaps an AIX comms specialist can explain what is going on here.

2 cards - each has its own ip - one broadcasts to the other

trying to connect to 192.168.1.105

Why would this be invalid?

while logged into the AIX server can you test the following.

Code:

telnet 192.168.1.105
telnet 192.168.1.106

If this works run the same test on different workstation/server the same network. If that succeeds I would focus on the router configuration.

hey - thanks for all the replies/help. i got it now.

frank - i could telnet to 192.168.1.106 - but, 105 worked at first, today gave me a permissions error; obviously i had changed something earlier in the game.

so, i started from scratch and everything looked good. then i spotted a static route in rc.net to the default gateway, which i must have added before. once i commented that out, since it is already set in en0 and en1, the telnet worked both on the system and from the outside client.

its good now - thanks again!
