alright, i'm apparantly being particularly dense about something, and i hope someone can point me in the right direction.
i'm trying to setup a lan with two machines, tyre and illium, with ip addresses 192.168.2.1 and .2, respectively.
however, for the life of me, i can't find the documentation which will give me a simple answer about making these two machines talk to each other. i'd like to eventually use one machine as a gateway, but at the moment, i'd just be happy if i could get the lan up.
the network cards appear to be able to ping themselves, but when i try to ping the other machine, i get 'network unreachable.' where're the docs which tell me if/what server i need to start, etc.
any help appreciated.
Be sure that inetd is up and running then look for a bad routing table (i dont mind this but maybe... is it). Before all, do you have BNC or RJ ethernet cable ?! If you got the first check for all terminations and cable problems, if you got the second check for the HUB LEDs and if don't have the hub check for the twisted RJ-45. ---------------------------------- Date: 14-Jan-99 Time: 14:59:51 Keep emotionally active.
