Hi Pinaki, Some more details follow...
I have a DSL connection that I intend to share. On Machine 1, I have FC3 and 2 network cards. The ethernet cable from the DSL modem is attached to the ethernet port of my first Ethernet card (Intel 82562EZ). On Machine 2, I have Windows XP and some ethernet card. My plans are as follows: a)Configuration of eth0 on my FC3 will be done automatically using the PPPOE protocol, so I should not worry about that. This is Network 1. b)I should configure eth1 on my FC3 and the ethernet card on my Windows XP machine. This will be Network 2. c)One easy way of configuring Network 2 is to assign static IP addresses to these interfaces. (192.168.0.x, 255.255.255.0) d)Once the setup is done, I need to use some system (NAT?) to interface Network 1 and Network 2 and share the internet connection. I have confirmed that both of the network cards on my FC3 are working properly, and so is the cable. But I still cannot ping between the machines. Could the switch be the problem? I'll try the crossover cable tomorrow as this will require some dragging around of computers.
