Hi I have done this before. Maybe something has changed because I can not get it to work now. My main rig is called smoker. The second rig is currently booted off the CD. I plan to use my main rig to sync and get distfiles off of. This is off smokers /etc/conf.d/net file:

I can't exactly copy and paste here. Help me get this working and I'll copy and paste all you want. LOL Second rig is the same setup except it is set to address 192.168.0.2. I did restart the network though, on both rigs. Route returns loopback and that is all. Looks suspicious to me. It doesn't have iptables installed on the CD. I guess there are none. Oh, to test the cable, I set both to the same address. When I tried to bring up the network, it gave me a error that the address was in use or something like that. It saw it at least. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? It has to be me. It almost always is. Thanks for the help. Dale :-) :-) :-) -- www.myspace.com/dalek1967 -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
