okay Brian ;)
Hi All,
I started a post 2 dyas ago wnating to know how can I share files between 2
machines on a local home LAN ( LM 8.1 and a w2k )
connected to another bigger lan,( bothe machines are sharing the internet
connection of course) yet I found that I have deeper problems than I though I
had ():-)
first one ( as I stated in the last post ) is That win cannot ping linux
though it can share the internet with it.
Second ( and maybe the cause of the first ) is that LM 8.1 have configured 3
NIC's while I only have 2 my uestion is how could that happen ??
here are my HW info :
Linux machine is a Dell Inspiron 7500
1st NIC : eth0 Genius pcmci
2nd NIC : eth2 3COM megaherts 10/100 pcmci
here is the output of /sbin/ifconfig ( I chopped the lo part for bandwidth
constraints of some subscribers ():-) )
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:A0:0C:45:17:32
inet addr:10.0.0.140 Bcast:10.0.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

I have 3 ifcfg-ethx files I will list ifcfg-eth1 here which is the one that
seems to be there for no reason and having a strange HD address:
DEVICE=eth1
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=192.168.0.1
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=192.168.0.0
BROADCAST=192.168.0.255
ONBOOT=yes
HWADDR=ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
okay I'll list ifcfg-eth1 and eth1 as well :)
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=10.0.0.xxx <=== I x 'ed the real IP though its useless in this case
;)
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=10.0.0.0
BROADCAST=10.0.0.255
ONBOOT=yes
HWADDR=00:a0:0c:45:14:32
DEVICE=eth2
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=192.168.0.1
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=192.168.0.0
BROADCAST=192.168.0.255
ONBOOT=no
HWADDR=00:10:4b:a2:d1:a9
and here is /etc/sysconfig/network
NETWORKING=yes
FORWARD_IPV4=true
HOSTNAME=hananxx.myisp.com
DOMAINNAME=myisp.com
GATEWAY=10.0.0.1
GATEWAYDEV=eth0
