hiho...
as u will possibly know from various earlier posts i am trying to connect a
linux and a win machine through thin ethernet.
up to now i was having the problem that the 2 machines were not able to
ping each other although everything was set right on both sides..
now i found a posting on deja where a guy described the same problem, he
was stating that his lan was working IF:
he first powered up the win machine and THEN the linux machine......
so i tried this and it really worked, the lan works when i am first
powering up the win machine and then the linux machine, vice versa i get
ping timeouts......
has anyone of u already experienced this or can anyone give any hints on
this phenomenon ?...
any thoughts will be appreciated......;)
