I have an old 486 (dx 33/210mb hd/12mgs ram/) with a base install of slink on it, that I want to network with my main dual-boot system (166mmx overclocked to 200mhz/5.1gig hd/96mgs ram/windoz98/linux) via a plip connection. I have attempted to do this with rh 6.1, and mdk 6.0, but have had no success. I have edited my /etc/hosts file, and issued modprobe sucessfully on the 486, and it is ready and waiting, but I haven't gotten the main box to work. I have been given a 2 cd copy of slink, that I am going to put on my main box. Is there anything special that I should install/be aware of in order to run a plip? many tia
