network configuration

trying setup a session to a test machine that is on the other side of the world so I can reinstall solaris and setup some test apps. I can connect to it via a ssh session that I create from a windows terminal server that is in the same subnet. I need to get it where I can connect to it with a ssh session from my side of the world without going through the windows terminal server.

The test box is a solaris 8 box at the moment.

I can ping the default gateway from my workstation and I can ping the default gateway from the test machine but I cannot ping from my workstation to the test machine or vise versa.

Have something wrong with the broadcast I belive.

Getting this from a ifconfig -a

lo0: flags=1000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 8232 index 1
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
hme0: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2
inet 134.32.65.177 netmask ffff0000 broadcast 134.32.255.255
ether 0:3:ba:1:ab:5f

the ip is 134.32.65.177, the broadcast should be 134.32.65.129, and netmask 255.255.255.192.

don't think I have the /etc/resolv.conf right for one thing but not sure what to put in it.

Any ideas,

Thanks,

Thanks to both of you, I got it going, problem was the /etc/netmask

Will split the points here as both gave some good info here and all is working now.

Thanks again
