what type of 'cable' to direct connect two boxes by ethernet

Hi all I have a need to connect two computers using cat-5 cable and a nic in each. I'm wondering if I need a 'different type of cable' than the standard cat-5 cable one uses when connecting more than two machines using a 'hub'. In this situation I will 'not be using a hub' just cat-5 cab

Re: Need troubleshooting help - home network

Hi Brian [and all the others who helped], Thanks very much to all who gave me advice the last couple of days. The problems turned out to be mostly 'bad hardware'... 2 bad Nics and a bad cable. Routing seems to work ok on two of the machines but I'm having problems pinging between BOX-1 and

Need troubleshooting help re:two machine network

I used to have a working home network of 2+ computers. Currently I am using a Redhat Masqueraded/ Dialup Gateway Box and a Win-95 workstation connected by a LinkSys 10baseT Hub. I upgraded it from RH-5.2 [on a 486dx120] to RH-6.1 [on a newer pentium box but with the 'same nic'/settings etc ]

Re: Need Help 'IP numbering' NIC is 'bad'..Hold everything

Sorry guys, Just found out that the nic/eth0 on Box-3 [ a dual booted Win-95/linux Box] is 'really dead' and am replacing it. I'll post when it is fixed. Thanks for your patience. Also I really thing my routing table on Box-2 is screwed up... John Johnnio wrote: > >

I have been using a 486-DX-120 [ using RH 5.2 and ipfwadm ] and have been experimenting with the amount of RAM installed. I have been told that ppp moves the data at the kernel level and a lot of ram is not necessary. I have tried using the setup with both 8 meg and 16 meg of ram and the data t

Good morning all I installed Redhat 6.1 on two machines and am having the same printer problem [I think] on both of them. The printer port worked in MS-DOS/Win95 previously... but not in Linux on either machine. I set the printer up using the 'PrintTool' from Gnome. I checked the FAQ on the
