Hi,
What are you trying to do and what steps have you done?
I am running RH 6.0 and here are the steps it took for two linux
machines to talk to each other. Right now I use kermit and vnc on
my windows machines to talk to the linux machines .
1. Install Network Card and attach to hub.
I use D-Link DFE-530 TX Cards the module
comes with RH 6.0 it is via-rhine
2. Put IP addresses and names in /etc/hosts
(You can actually do this with linux conf put
I did by hand)
3. Make sure /etc/host.conf has
order hosts, bind
4. Enter linuxconf and go to Network configuration
Basic Host Assign Machine Name and
IP Address
192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255 or private addresses
5. check to make sure
alias eth-0 via-rhine
was added to /etc/conf.modulees (subsititute module you need for your
card)
6. Reboot Computer
7.should show starting eth0 and l0
type
ifconfig -a
should show eth0 and l0
ping 127.0.0.1
ctrl c to break out.
If you can not ping yourself you proably do not start network in sys
services
ntsysv
turn on network
reboot
try again. If it works Install on next computer.
8; try ping and the new computers ip address
ctrl c to break out. If working you are set
telnet computername to log on
ftp computername to transfer files.
Hope this helps
