Lets start with the static addressing. What IP/Netmasks did you use? What did you set the gateway as? What is the topology? Debian <--> linksys hub <--> windows. What is on the other side of the debian box? A modem? Another ethernet? Give as much info as you can and you'll have so much help you wont know which way to turn ;) If its just the windows <-> debian setup. Try the following debian (edit /etc/network/interfaces, then go 'ifdown -a; ifup -a' ) IP: 10.0.0.1 Netmask: 255.255.255.0 Network: 10.0.0.0 Broadcast: 10.0.0.255 windows: IP: 10.0.0.2 Netmask: 255.255.255.0 Broadcast: 10.0.0.255 Gateway: 10.0.0.1 Make sure all link lights are on on the hub. All cat 5 is good. Then ping. from both machines. Any luck? Kind Regards Crispin Wellington -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
