hi,
i have two comps at home with linux and all reqd
hardware installed.i want to network the two comps so
that they can share files,printer and a net
connection.
this is what i have done-
1 comp - IP add 192.168.1.1(set using ifconfig)
hostname yash
/etc/hosts has 192.168.1.2 suri apart from
other entries.
2 comp - IP add 192.168.1.2(set using ifconfig)
hostname suri
/etc/hosts has 192.168.1.1 yash apart from
other entries.
then i used route command in both the comps to add the
appropriate host in each comp.
when i try to ping 192.168.1.2 from 192.168.1.1 i get
the error destination host unreachable.
so i used arp utility on both the machines
arp -s yash ..........
now when i use ping there is no error that dest is
unreachable,but then there is nothing
displayed.finally when i press ctrl-c the message is
xx packets transmitted 0 recieved 100% packet loss.
what else am i supposed to do to get the network
up&running
also from the time i set hostnames for my comps
sendmail and apache donot start(infact the comp hangs
when i try starting sendmail)
thanx in advance,
yashwanth.c.p
