I bought a second-hand Ethernet card, how to test it?
I have 2 PCs, both have a Ethernet card, both running
Linux. Now I connect them with a line, how to test the
connection? Is there Linux command that send a message
thru eth0 interface to display on the other PC? Thanks!
'ping' is always a good tool to test connections between hosts.
$ ping -c 4 pc1
$ ping -c 4 pc2
Try it from both machines and if everythings is working you should see a
reply message from the ping commands.
NB! if the machines are connected directly (without a router etc) you'll
need a cross-over cable to get your setup to work.
