hi there,
thanks for the replies, but I didnt get the required solution..
so I am elaborating the problem here.
There are 2 m/cs with RHL6.1 with NE2000 compatible cards. Use RJ45 (no hubs n stuff)
Both NICs are detected OK at boot. I just want to have the 2 m/cs (NICs) to talk with
eachother
so that I can practice more interesting n/w programming than with lo.
/etc/conf.modules :
alias eth0 ne
options ne io=0x300 irq=10
/etc/hosts :
192.168.0.1 gnr.rock gnr rock
route -n :
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
ifconfig :

Sorry for the extra details... but could anyone help me figure out
exactly where I am going wrong?
Thanks in advance,
james.
