I have upgraded the new TCPIP up and running well. However, I cannot use the
ifconfig command to change the IP address with netmask option. For example
my current IP address is 10.4.4.4 and netmask 255.0.0.0. If I run the
command “ifconfig en1 10.4.4.3 netmask 255.0.0.0”, I cannot ping to external
device, but the other device can ping to me. I was able to do that in TCPIP
4.25. Any idea what I have done wrong? The ifconfig works fine without the
netmask option.
You should not need to specify the netmask if your network ID is 10.
Try specifying the ifconfig command without giving it the new (same)
netmask.
Also, what is your route to network 10? look at ‘netstat -nr’.
