ray's stumped??? - say it ain't so!!! :)
ok - here's another long shot (yeah - the netstat and ifconfig look good)
just to be safe get rid of the zeroes though. i use class c netmask - can't
imagine that making a difference either.
ok - here's the meat - ray plz confirm. can linux do different ethernet
frame types? ie: ethernetII, ethernet 802.3, etc...
cause if both pc's are using different data link - they will never talk to
each other...
ray - another note - he says - "network unreachable"???? - how can
that be??? their both 10.0.0.0 network hosts! - is he trying to ping via
hostname or ip addr?
eric - i'll take your word for it that both pc's talk to each other in windows
(vi IP and NOT NETBUI) - so it's not a wiring problem - buy a mini hub huh?
that way u can see the link status lights :)
ps: - ray - how do i compile kpilot (palmpilot s/w runs for kde) so i can
get it to run under xfce?? - thing won't compile - it's complaining about
QT and stuff.
the rude
