Try this to narrow the problem area down: - ping each hosts local interface to make sure it's reachable - if each host can ping it's own interface and you still can't ping across to the other host: - run something like ipgrab on on interface while the other host pings it - if you see the echo requests coming across, and you see the echo replies going out, then you still have a cable issue - if you don't see the echo requests coming across, you still have a cable issue - else you need to make sure the local interface is functioning properly, although I believe you've already done that I personally haven't had much luck with custom built cables, as well as cables made by certain manufactures. You may also try setting the default gw on each host to its own local interface. Let us know how it goes...jc -- Jeff CoppockSystems Engineer Diggin' Debian Admin and User

Hmm, it appears to me that you are not using a cross-over cable when connecting the two boxes together, indicated by your comment "i dont get a green light on the cards". A standard cable as used to connect to the dsl modem is a straight-thru cable. Host-to_host requires the crossover. Invest in an ethernet hub to connect everything together, it's more fun that way. jc -- Jeff CoppockSystems Engineer Diggin' Debian Admin and User
home network, cant ping box 2
Hi all - its that time again (debian mailing list help!) I set up a second box, with Caldera OL 3.1 and a 3com 3c509b card in it. with adsl i can use it to go online fine... i have 2 NetGear FA 310 cards in my debian box... i can use either card to go online... and i have used both of my cables to go online... so hardware wise all seem to work... but i cant ping between boxes Debian eth0 : 10.10.10.2 mask 255.255.255.0 also tried eth0 : 192.168.1.2 mask 255.255.255.0 eth1 : 192.168.1.10 mask 255.255.255.0 Caldera eth0 : 10.10.10.5 mask 255.255.255.0 also tried eth0 : 192.168.1.20 mask 255.255.255.0 of course, i always had "matching" addresses (on the same network). but i dont get a green light on the cards, and i cant ping! I re-emphasize that i can connect to the DSL modem with any of the cards/cables... Anyone have an idea on what is going on?
