Yes, I am sure the eth0 interface is up and running. When I do a 'ifconfig' it shows
up with the
proper IP, etc. I will attempt to ping the loopback when I get home. As for the
webpage, I don't
have Apache installed on the linux box yet, I was waiting to get the networking up
first. Unless
Apache is installed by default (std. Workstation install), I can't check that.
I have tried pinging using both IP and name with no luck either way.
The 2 boxes are connected via a switch and 2 10/100 NICs. The linux box has a triple
boot
(Win98/Win2k/RH6.0) and the LAN works fine in both other OS's. So, I don't think it's
a hardware
issue.
Someone earlier asked me if I had the routes setup properly. I haven't a clue. Any
thoughts?
