15.3.4. Troubleshooting

If it does not work, feel free to ask me. The things that people tripped over so far:

• Not using "-c" or "-a" in slattach (I have no idea why this can be fatal, but adding this flag solved the problem for at least one person)
• Using "s10" instead of "sl0" (might be hard to see the difference on some fonts).
• Try "ifconfig sl0" to see your interface status. I get:

  silvia# ifconfig sl0
  sl0: flags=10<POINTOPOINT>
          inet 136.152.64.181 --> 136.152.64.1 netmask ffffff00
  

• Also, netstat -r will give the routing table, in case you get the "no route to host" messages from ping. Mine looks like:

  silvia# netstat -r
  Routing tables
  Destination      Gateway            Flags     Refs     Use  IfaceMTU    Rtt   
  Netmasks:
  (root node)
  (root node)
  
  Route Tree for Protocol Family inet:
  (root node) =>
  default          inr-3.Berkeley.EDU UG          8   224515  sl0 -      -     
  localhost.Berkel localhost.Berkeley UH          5    42127  lo0 -       0.438
  inr-3.Berkeley.E silvia.HIP.Berkele UH          1        0  sl0 -      -     
  silvia.HIP.Berke localhost.Berkeley UGH        34 47641234  lo0 -       0.438
  (root node)
  

  (this is after transferring a bunch of files, your numbers should be smaller).
