No Route to Host

B

bamcis

I am new to Freebsd. I have a Freebsd 6.2 server running and want to test it offline. It is running apache22, php, mysql, sshd. I have hooked up the server to a laptop via a crossover cable. The rc.conf for the server is 204.242.124.43 subnet 255.255.255.0. I set the NIC card on my laptop (Running Windows XP) to 204.242.124.44 subnet 255.255.255.0. I am attempting to ping the server IP and it times out. From the server, I am logged in as root, and attempt to ping the laptops IP and get "no route to host". I can not figure outy why. It seems pretty simple. There is no router in between, just both computers connected via a crossover cable. Any help is greatly appreciated.
 
Also make sure there's no firewall running that might block the traffic.
 
I apologize:

* 207.232.124.43 is a different IP address compared to your first post

* status: no carrier is not good, no or faulty cable present
 
I apologize, it is 207. I just replaced the cable now it shows active, but I still can not ping.
 
Try setting the default gateway to the other side's IP address on both ends.

That shouldn't be needed when both sides are on the same network segment.
