I would need information on how to configure a local network between two computers with only a twested rj45.
I have two ethernet cards on each of the two computers I aim to put together. One of them is connected to a adsl via gateway. I want the others to be configured for the two computers to exchange files through ftp protocol. I did like this in my /etc/network/interfaces file: (only the part concerning the interfaces for this local network. The others are set in dhcp) #first computer allow-hotplug eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.10.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 auto eth0 #(2) second computer allow-hotplug eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.10.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 auto eth0 And then ifup -a. If I could do a ping it would be a first step. One the first computer it says: ~$ ping 192.168.10.1 PING 192.168.10.1 (192.168.10.1) 56(84) bytes of data. >From 192.168.10.0 icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable >From 192.168.10.0 icmp_seq=2 Destination Host Unreachable --- 192.168.10.1 ping statistics --- 8 packets transmitted, 0 received, +6 errors, 100% packet loss, time 7000ms , pipe 3 And one the second it says: ~$ ping 192.168.10.0 Do you want to ping broadcast? Then -b And with -b: 100% lost. And from the first computer: ~$ ping 192.168.10.0 PING 192.168.10.0 (192.168.10.0) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 192.168.10.0: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.033 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.10.0: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.029 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.10.0: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.026 ms --- 192.168.10.0 ping statistics --- 3 packets transmitted, 3 received, 0% packet loss, time 1998ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.026/0.029/0.033/0.005 ms Is it happy speaking with itself? The purpose of this post is to be given links, or even keywords that could lead me. Possibly reliable ones.
