I still have a problem setting up my intranet at home.
Linux box
Running slackware96
Network Card: 3com 3C509b
IP address: 192.168.1.2
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway 192.168.1.2 - I am not connected to the internet however.
I run ifconfig and everything checks out ok. Card detected at the right
io and irq, and eth0 is assigned the correct IP. Also /proc/interrupts
and /proc/ioports both contain an appropriate line for my card. I can
even ping myself. /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 checks out.
Win95 box.
Win95 OSR2
Network Card: 3com 3C905 TX
IP address: 192.168.1.3
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway 192.168.1.2
TCP/IP installed and bound to the NIC
Less to test here, but I can ping myself and the control panel returns
that the device is working properly.
The cable I am using I know is ok as I took it from a internet
connected computer at work. But can the two see each other... No. I
realise that this is not the place for a Win95 question ( I am working
on that side), all I am asking is .."Has anyone got any further tests I
could run on my Linux box?" Has anyone got any pointers suggestions
of what to try next? Has anyone spotted a simple mistake I have
made?
All suggestions pointers etc are welcome and much appreciated.
If I keep pulling my hair out at this rate I will be bald by the weekend
