Have been working on this same problem and just solved
it.
My configuration is a firewall on a 486 using
CoyoteLinux, 2 Mandrake 7.2 boxes and a Win95 box.
Had not tried the ifconfig command until I read this
email and here are the results:
eth0Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:80:AD:B
8:75:10
When the dual boot machine is up under Linux Mandrake I still do not have
these two even pinging each other. The ping of each other IP addresses
simply hangs with out even timing out.
Below is some more information if someone would have mercy on me. I would be
grateful for any suggestions.
P.S.

Surely, you're not saying that the W98only box is also hanging?
and interest.

By any chance, did you turn off some services...? I ask because my nephew
turned off loads of stuff on his system "to make it boot faster"... I don't
recall exactly what was the main culprit; but even the loopback interface was
disabled.
Try "strace ping ..." and see if that gives any clues.

The computers in questions are connected via a NIC to NIC cross over CAT 5
Ethernet cable.
No problem...

Sorry for that brain infarction.

No problem...
Don't NIC to NIC connections (no hub) require a Crossover cable?

HJCOHT Pardon in advance, as I have not followed this thread.
HJCOHT Do you have a firewall installed? If so, you need to allow icmp.

Recently I installed an 3COM 3C905C Ethernet card in my computer. Using a
cross over cable I am attempting to get it to talk to a WIN98 machine with
the same NIC.
I went into linuxconf and entered a unique IP address for eth0.
Problem is it refuses to talk to the other machine. I can find no
An absolute minimum of "ifconfig" output would help. While you're at it, from
"route" too... and a clue as to the IP address used in the other OS...
Of course, if ifconfig gives no eth0 output, try "ifconfig eth0" to be sure.

Take a look at the file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and see if there's
anything that
doesn't look right.
Try to bring it up:
# ifup eth0 #this won't work if the above file is not set up properly.
# ifconfig#this is to see what's "up"
Is your eth0 up? If it is, and it has the
17 matches
