Hi, I'm trying to network a Win95 machine to my Linux (Mandrake 7) box
so that Win95 can access the Internet through a dial up PPP connection
on the Linux box. I've got an ISA NE-2000+ card in each machine,
connected with a crossover cable.
What I've done to the Linux box:
*Added info about the NIC to /etc/conf.modules
alias eth0 ne
options ne io=0x300 irq=3 (yeah I know IRQ 3 is irregular, but this is
a dual boot Linux/Win98 machine, and that's the only spare IRQ under
both Win98 and Linux)
*Edited /etc/hosts adding
192.168.1.1 bib.localdomain
192.168.1.2 bob.localdomain
*Added /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth0
DEVICE="eth0"
IPADDR="192.168.1.1"
ONBOOT="yes"
*Brought up the network and eth0
It finds the card OK, ifconfig eth0 gives:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:93:84:3F:37
inet addr:192.168.1.1 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING PROMISC MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:24 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:100
Interrupt:3 Base address:0x300
I can ping 192.168.1.1 or bib.localdomain fine, but pinging 192.168.1.2
or
bob.localdomain loses 100% of packets.
The routing table is

ppp0
Running tcpdump and pinging bob gives a whole bunch of:
17:23:49.423513 arp who-has bob.localdomain tell bib.localdomain
Now on the Win95 machine I've:
*Installed the card
*Set up TCP/IP properties with IP 192.168.1.2, Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
*Edited c:\windows\Hosts
192.168.1.1 bib.localdomain
192.168.1.2 bob.localdomain
*Reboot
Winipcfg shows the card with all the right settings, and I can ping
192.168.1.2
but not 192.168.1.1 - I also can't ping either bob.localdomain or
bib.localdomain, it looks as though Windows isn't looking in the Hosts
file. Nothing shows up in tcpdump on Linux when I try pinging from
Windows.
The routing table is:

0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.2 1
127.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 1

255.255.255.255 255.255.255.255 192.168.1.2 192.168.1.2 1
Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong here? I'm wondering if it's a
bad cable? Thanks. BTW, in searching for info about this I stumbled
across another SLUG - the Sarnia LUG <http://www.sar-net.com/slug/>.
Just thought somebody might be interested.
