Hi, I have a weird issue with the plip driver. I need to test the parport of a machine so am using plip.
I do a modprobe plip on both machines. and assign ip's with ifconfig. >ifconfig plip0 192.168.0.3 pointopoint 192.168.0.4 #on testmachine >ifconfig plip0 192.168.0.4 pointopoint 192.168.0.3 #on remote machine. then I do a ping from either machine. And ping works fine. The problem is when I do a ifconfig plip0 down on any one machine. After I down the plip0 interface and then do an ifconfig plip0 up, the ping mails. I searched google for known issues with plip but did'nt come up with anything. I even did a rmmod of the plip modules on both machines and then reconfigured by modprobing and ifconfig, but still my ping will fail. The only way I can ping is to reboot one of the machines and inserting the plip module and assinging ip's as mentioned before. Is this a known issue. Any help and or suggestions would be helpfull.
