[newbie] 2 Linux Computers
Hey all, I have two linux computers both connected via a Netgear hub to my cable modem. They don't seem to be able to see each other. Anything I can do to accomplish this? Thanks!

Re: [newbie] 2 Linux Computers
James; Do both machines have Internet access? Unless you've got something new, you should be running 2 network cards in one of the two machines - 1 to the cablemodem, and the second network card (using a crossover Cat5 cable) to a network card in the second machine. If that's a cable/CDL router, and not a hub then what you're saying makes sense. In either case, check out the following link and have a look at the sections marked - setting up an NFS server - and - setting up an NFS client. You'll have to do both (server and client) to each machine.

Re: [newbie] 2 Linux Computers
James, My guess is that you are using DHCP on both and that both can see the Internet, but not each other. Right? If so, a better setup would be to make one machine your internet gateway sing connection sharing and the other a purely local machine. Your gateway machine could also then be the firewall, limiting your need to manage security to only one. If this guesswork is accurate and you need help to make this happen, have a stroll through the archives, where you'll find 1000 or so messages about this, then come back with questions anyway ;-) HTH Brian On Tue, 2002-03-19 at 20:11, James Thomas wrote: Hey all, I have two linux computers both connected via a Netgear hub to my cable modem.

I hate it when that happens!

Re: [newbie] 2 Linux Computers
Oh!, I didn't know I needed to do this. I thought if I just used a hub, I could do that! What's the link btw? Yeah, both machines have internet access.

Re: [newbie] 2 Linux Computers
Oh, I connect to each of them just fine but I want to be able to get files just by using cp, mv, or whatever without going over the internet. James Hi James! Don't know how much help I can be, I'm no networking expert, but I have 2 linux boxes hooked up to a RP 114 netgear router, and I can ssh into the other box from this one with no problem.

Re: [newbie] 2 Linux Computers
yeah, they both use DHCP. I pay an extra $6/month for both of them - I need both computers to be accessible online so I pay the extra money.

Re: [newbie] 2 Linux Computers
OK, my ESP is getting better ;-) I see another reply has put you on the right track, but just to be specific and avoid confusion First let's make sure I understand what you have: - 2 linux boxes - 1 network card (NIC) in each - a hub - a cable modem If that's correct, then what you need to do is: 1. Stop paying for a second connection 2. With the $6 / month you save, buy a second NIC for one machine - this becomes the gateway 3. Leave one NIC in your gateway connected to the cable modem and connect the other to your hub 4. Connect the machine with one NIC (let's call this the client) to the hub 5. Set the IP address on your new gateway NIC (the one connected to the hub) to 192.168.0.1 in subnet 255.255.255.0 - there are other alternatives, but let's keep life simple and use that. 6. Set the IP address on your client machine to 192.168.0.2 - same subnet Now you can ping 192.168.0.1 from the client and 192.168.0.2 from the gateway. You can also share files between them by setting up some NFS mounts, share printers etc. Your gateway machine at this point has internet access, but not your client, so two more steps are required to complete the picture. 1. Set up a route from your private subnet (255.255.255.0) to the public side (the subnet to which the NIC connected to the cable modem belongs) webmin is probably the easiest tool to use for this. Have a play with that and come back to the list if you have trouble with it. 2. Set up a firewall on the gateway machine. InteractiveBastille would be a reasonable choice, but there are many others. You'll find a zillion message on that in the archives, so I won't blather on here about the details. Hopefully that's enough to get you on track and you can come back with more specific questions as they arise. HTH Brian On Wed, 2002-03-20 at 07:29, James Thomas wrote: yeah, they both use DHCP.
