I have a homepc with AMD Athlon 2400XP, A7N8X deluxe MB, 256 MB ram and mandrake linux 9.2 with sshd, lisa, samba, NFS, proftpd, httpd installed. I also have dell inspiron 600m with 1.4M PIV, 512 MB ram, mandrake linux 9.2 with lisa, samba, NFS installed. I have connected both the machines with a crossover cable. I have used static ip as follows given in my home PC /etc/hosts. [EMAIL PROTECTED] lvgandhi]# cat /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost lvghomepc 192.168.0.1 lvghomepc 192.168.0.2 lvgdell600m In my laptop, I have /etc/hosts as follows. [EMAIL PROTECTED] lvgandhi]# cat /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost lvgdell600m 192.168.0.1 lvghomepc 192.168.0.2 lvgdell600m When I used lan:/ in my laptop Konqueror, I got both machines. In my laptop, I got only NFS and in homepc, I got HTTP, ftp, fish and NFS. I could connect from my laptop to homepc with ftp and I could d/l some files. But abruptly connection got terminated. I thought with installing sshd in laptop, I thought I can get fish in my laptop also and do filetransfer using fish. I installed sshd in my laptop and could use fish. But here also connection ended abruptly. 1) In both cases I could transfer around i GB of data then connection failed. Once again I couldn't get connection. Whether amount of data has anything to do with default settings of fish or proftpd? 2) Whether installing sshd in laptop anything to do with failure to get ftp connection. 3) I am unable to understand with all connection and software remaining same, whether sequence of starting of machines has something to do with connection. Because sometimes I get connection sometimes not. If so what is the correct sequence for getting files from PC to laptop via fish or ftp. Help will be appreciated. -- L.V.Gandhi linux user No.205042 http://lvgandhi.tripod.com/
