Une id�e: le port parall�le d'une des machines n'est pas bien
configur�. �a peut se changer dans le BIOS.
$ more /usr/doc/HOWTO/unmaintained/mini/PLIP
...
= My link is up, but ping fails. I receive the following message from the
kernel: plip1: timed out (1, 89)
- This means that the "your side of the link" is working, your machine
sends the signal, but the "other side" isn't answering for the following
reasons:
. The cable isn't plugged properly or is broken or is wrong.
. The "other side" machine has not PLIP up.
. You are linked with a notebook with a not proper parallel port, see
next question.
= I have installed the PLIP connection but if I ping I get 100% data loss.
I connected my desktop with a notebook.
- Some notebook's parallel ports aren't good for PLIP, because they are
only "printer ports", i.e. they can only transmit but not receive the
data. So far I don't know if there is a way to make them work.
The only hope is:
. Look at your notebook setup, perhaps there is a way to configure
the parallel port as a parallel port instead of a printer port.
. Try plip mode 0. Alas I don't know how to do it and/or if it works
or is still available in the last kernels.
