Hi, I didn't succeed yet to share my portable 1GB SCSI-HD with Debian 1.1 (w/updates up to 1.1.8) to run Linux on two different boxes: Box 1) Non-internet connected (although planning and intranet). clone PC w/ i486/DX33 + 16MB RAM + 540MB SCSI HD (SCSI ID-1) + NE2000 NIC clone Box 2) Internet connected box at work. Compaq i586/90Mhz + 16MB RAM + PCI-IDE 633MB HD PCI-Ethernet AM79C970KC on board.
I have problems in my connection to the local network when at work. The same applies to mail (can send but not receive mail). Cannot ftp either except to localhost. I can ping localhost but I can't see any other host in the net. I am sure is a config problem as I managed to see the network in a previous install on the same machine. I read the documentation but I am still stumped. What output would you like to see to be able to help me? or Where should i start looking to solve the problem? Is there any post-installation "netconfig" script? by now I modified the config files manually (/etc/init.d/network I guess and /etc/resolv.config i my memory serves me). Has anybody tried this "sharing the whole file-system in a HD" approach? I am sure there can be additional details to take into account if one goes for two different root systems (one on his own partition). Some reflections: - At home I have an ISA AHA 1542CF SCSI adapter while at work I have a ISA AHA 1542CP SCSI adapter (plug & play aware) so the fs can live on /dev/sda without any problem. - I also managed to make Linux to recognize the PCI ethernet chip onboard AM79C970KC. The NE2000 at home is also recognized without problem. I don't think the different cards can make a problem as far as the kernel recognizes both. Thank you for your help, Lazaro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
