I want to link an old laptop to my pc. I have done this before using Debian potato on my pc and another (older) Linux installation on the laptop, so I know it is not a hardware problem. Now I have woody on both machines. The pc side works OK and I can use the network (if I boot my *old* Linux system on the laptop). But when I boot woody on the laptop I'm out of luck:
ping pc ping: sendto: Network is unreachable (I can't ping from the pc to the laptop either). My knowledge/experience with networks is very limited, so I search a bit everywhere I can think of: As the link goes over a PCMCIA card I suspected a missing module or something, but I see with dmesg: eth0: NE2000 (DL10019 rev 05): io 0x300, irq 3, ... ifconfig shows lo only ifconfig eth0 up eth0: found link beat eth0: autonegotiation complete: 100baseT-FD selected But ping does still not work. route shows only title lines, no entries. I think I must have missed a very basic installation/configuration step, but which one?
