hello prashant,
first try the same config with a crossover cable -
without
any switch/hub .
Also the correct command sequence for the setup would be -
# ifconfig eth0 up 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
# route add default eth0
Also please confirm that the correct module (with parameters) is inserted
for your network-card during bootup with "lsmod" . if not use "modprobe
modulename" .
give me a feedback .
- Pinaki.

Subject: [ilug-cal] Connecting two computers through a "switch"?
Date: Mon, 13 Jun 2005 19:37:21 +0530
Hi Everyone,
I am trying to connect 2 computers. The configuration is as follows:
Computer 1: Running FC3. Has 2 network cards.
Computer 2: Running XP. Has 1 network card.
I am trying to configure Computer 1 as follows:
ifconfig eth1 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
route add -net 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev eth1
For Computer 2, I go into the WinXP control panel and set :
IP Address: 192.168.0.2
Network Mask: 255.255.255.0
I'm trying to connect the two computers with a D-Link DES-1008D switch.
After setting it up, I go to computer 2 and run:
ping 192.168.0.1
But the ping fails.
I have confirmed that the network cables work. I have also confirmed
that the computers can ping themselves.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Prashant
