Hello folks,
I'm trying to control an external instrument via Ethernet. I've installed an
additional networking card in my Debian box and connected the thing via a
crossover cable.
NOTE: I've booted Windows on the same machine and was able to talk to the
instrument using a supplied demo program (LabView). So, physically the
connection is correct, but when I try tp PING the instrument from within Linux,
I get no reply.
I don't really know where to start all this, so I'd like to know if at least my
network settings are correct. I've set the address of the secondary interface
to 192.168.0.1, the instrument has 192.168.0.2. Does my box automatically know
to use the other card when I try to connect to an 192.168.... address?
Thanks,
--D.
Here's the output of ifconfig. What does "Link encap:UNSPEC" mean? Is that a
problem?
