Re: Connect two pcs with crossover cable

[Timothy Yip]

Hi,

You would probably want to do some tests to see if the network really is up
first.

- Check by doing *ifconfig eth0 *on both machines, and make sure they have
the given IPs
- Then try pinging both ways and see if you get a return
- Check the lights on the NICs are active
- Make sure SSH server is running by: */etc/init.d/ssh-server status*
- When initiating a connection do *ssh -vvv 192.168.0.2* for more verbose

Copy and paste the results.

That's all I can think of for now, until more info are provided.


Regards,
Tim
