I'm trying to connect my PII 350 with Debian 2.2r2 potato (kernel 2.2.17) with my PIII 800 with Debian woody (2.2.18 recompiled) using a "laplink" cable. I've followed PLIP-Howto steps, but even when I already tried two cables (which work under Windows, I know this doesn't prove anything, but..), I still can't make this to work. I stop in the ping step. My potato says plip0: transmit timeout(1,87) and my woody stays forever waiting for an answer. This are my settings:
potato: plip0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr FC:FC:C0:A8:00:01 inet addre:192.168.0.1 P-t-P:192.168.0.2 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:10 Interrupt:7 Base address:0x378 route 192.168.0.2 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 plip0 192.168.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 plip0 woody: plip0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr FC:FC:C0:A8:00:02 inet addre:192.168.0.2 P-t-P:192.168.0.1 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:10 Interrupt:7 Base address:0x378 route 192.168.0.1 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 plip0 192.168.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 plip0 They're supposedly ok, but when I try to connect they don't communicate. ¿any suggestion? _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
