When I use slattach to try to create a SLIP connection between 2 linux boxes over a serial null modem cable, like so:# slattach -p slip -s 115200 /dev/ttyS0 &# ifconfig sl0 10.0.5.1 pointopoint 10.0.5.2 upWhat happens is, when I run ifconfig sl0, it says both my IP address and my Point-To-Point address is 10.0.5.2. My IP address was supposed to be 10.0.5.1, and the Point-To-Point was supposed to be 10.0.5.2. Why did this happen and how can I fix it? (BTW I can create a successful connection with PPP using the same 2 computers)
Slattach IP address isnt correct
