I have a laptop with RH6.2 running on it. Once in a while I will connect
it directly with another device with a cross over cable from the ethernet
port. To make this work I change the following
change IP address from DHCP to static i.e. 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.252
remove the old default route
add in new default route to other device
Here is the strange part. Once I have done this, from the laptop I cannot
ping the other device, telnet or do anything. But if I go to the other
device I can ping the laptop, tftp a file to the laptop or tftp a file
from the laptop.
What am I missing?
