I am looking to set up an ethernet connection using ieee1394
(Firewire/ILink) between two Debian sid machines, and haven't had much
luck.
I have the necessary drivers loaded (eth1394), and am able to bring up
(what I assume to be) the interface as an ethX device on both machines
with
# ifconfig eth2 192.168.1.51 up
after which ifconfig reports:
eth2 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr
00-00-4C-01-07-00-26-EA-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00
inet addr:192.168.1.51 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:66 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:100
RX bytes:2112 (2.0 KiB) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
but I'm not able to connect between the two machines.
I'd like to do this to transfer a lot (20Gb) of data (digital video files)
faster than my 10baseT network. I assume this can be done somehow, but am
not sure what next to do.
Any suggestions about what I am missing? I'm guessing the solution is
similar to setting up a "direct" network connection between two machines,
but I haven't been able to find anything that explains how to do this.
Thanks,
B.
