Yes, the physical network is working. I have a triple boot on this system
(Win98/Win2k/RH6.0) and
the LAN works fine in both Win98 and Win2k. So, hardware-wise I should be fine. I am
unable to
ping either way using either the IP or the boxname.
Speaking of boxname, how do I name the linux box? I'm a bit confused as to what to
put in the
domain box in linuxconf. I also noticed a similar box in the config section for my
adapter -
"primary name + domain." Again, I'm not sure what to put in there.
Thanks for the info on the files...
FYI - internet connection sharing is only included in Win98 Second Edition and Win2k.
:(
