Re: Re :[newbie] I got the 2nd NIC start another round ?
Hanan, I'm jumping in without having read the previous stuff in this thread, but have you installed a firewall on the linux box? This would seem to be the most likely reason you can't ping it - if the rules have been set to drop pings on the local LAN interface. If you have installed a firewall, perhaps you could post the config file.

[newbie] I got the 2nd NIC start another round ?
Hi All, Its me again, I'm glad the Shame we live in diff countries mail got this much replies today :) Now lets not let this take us away form our main list objective ;-) If you remember I asked for your cooperation in my little project ( connecting a linux and a W2K machine through a mini LAN, and then to the Internet keeping in mind my sort of not traditional DSL setup. One good reply from Robin, who gave me this tip for how to physically connect the 2 machines: if you want to use your computer for sharing Wall jack - computer1 - computer 2 2 NIC for computer 1 and 1 NIC for computer 2 SO, I got the second NIC ( fast huh ? and you thought you'r gonna have some headache free time ;) ) I plugged the 3com pcmci card in, it was recognized by MD, YET in the control center under networking it shows 3 (yes 3) eth0, eth1, eth2 !! I didnt bother to see why, and I went on to set the cables this way : cable coming from wall == eth0 (10.0.x.x in the LM machine ) cable coming out from second NIC == eth1 (192.168.0.1 the LM machine == hub cable coming out from W2K machin == (192.168.0.2) == hub the 2 cables go to regular ports on the hub ( none goes to the uplink port) I set the hosts file on W2K as following: 192.168.0.1hanan.my_isp_domain.com 192.168.0.2w2k.my_isp_domain.com ,and gave the TCP/IP configurations the following values: IP : 192.168.0.2 DNS : the IPs of the DNS the ISP gave me. Gateway: 192.168.0.1 LAN is not working machines cannot see each other. where do i start ? . suggestions, hints, questions, All welcomed :) - Hanan AL-Shargi Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Well before I move on to connection sharing, shouldnt tha LAN be working first ? I tried switching the cards in the pcmci slots, to see if that 3rd eth wold go away ,, still there !! where the hell did this come from ? - Hanan AL-Shargi Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts I have the following entries (files): ifcfg-eth0, ifcfg-eth1, ifcfg-eth2 respectively: DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=static IPADDR=10.0.0.140 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 NETWORK=10.0.0.0 BROADCAST=10.0.0.255 ONBOOT=yes DEVICE=eth1 BOOTPROTO=static IPADDR=192.168.0.1 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 NETWORK=192.168.0.0 BROADCAST=192.168.0.255 ONBOOT=yes DEVICE=eth2 BOOTPROTO=static IPADDR=192.168.0.1 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 NETWORK=192.168.0.0 BROADCAST=192.168.0.255 ONBOOT=yes HWADDR=00:10:4b:a2:d1:a8 The eth that is connected to the dsl is eth0 after I added the new NIC I got those eth1 eth2 ...

Try executing the following when you make changes to the network /etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart Why are you using pcmcia cards? Or is this a portable computer?

Hey Gerald guess WHAT I'm able to see the internet form the w2k Machine !!1 Hhh :)) and I dont even know how I did it !!! I cant belive this : from the w2k machine i cant ping anything but the gateway ( the actual isp gateway ) and fromm the linux machine, thats another story !! - Hanan AL-Shargi Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Youre good! fantanstic I cant belive this : from the w2k machine i cant ping anything but the gateway ( the actual isp gateway ) I am confused, I thought the Linux Machine was the local gateway. So the w2k must be going through hanan eth1 then hanan eth0 to get to the Internet. so from the w2k machine you should be able to ping 192.168.0.1 (hanan-eth1) start - run - ping 192.168.0.1 and fromm the linux machine, thats another story !! - Hanan AL-Shargi -- Gerald Waugh http://frontstreetnetworks.com New Haven, Connecticut USA Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
