okay Brian ;) Hi All,
I started a post 2 dyas ago wnating to know how can I share files between 2 machines on a local home LAN ( LM 8.1 and a w2k ) connected to another bigger lan,( bothe machines are sharing the internet connection of course) yet I found that I have deeper problems than I though I had ():-) first one ( as I stated in the last post ) is That win cannot ping linux though it can share the internet with it. Second ( and maybe the cause of the first ) is that LM 8.1 have configured 3 NIC's while I only have 2 my uestion is how could that happen ?? here are my HW info : Linux machine is a Dell Inspiron 7500 1st NIC : eth0 Genius pcmci 2nd NIC : eth2 3COM megaherts 10/100 pcmci here is the output of /sbin/ifconfig ( I chopped the lo part for bandwidth constraints of some subscribers ():-) ) eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:A0:0C:45:17:32 inet addr:10.0.0.140 Bcast:10.0.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:34333 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:18809 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:56 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:17968208 (17.1 Mb) TX bytes:1762810 (1.6 Mb) Interrupt:3 Base address:0x300 eth2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:10:4B:A2:D1:A8 inet addr:192.168.0.1 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:10156 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:14182 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:1018348 (994.4 Kb) TX bytes:14063580 (13.4 Mb) Interrupt:11 Base address:0x200 I have 3 ifcfg-ethx files I will list ifcfg-eth1 here which is the one that seems to be there for no reason and having a strange HD address: 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 HWADDR=ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff okay I'll list ifcfg-eth1 and eth1 as well :) DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=static IPADDR=10.0.0.xxx <=== I x 'ed the real IP though its useless in this case ;) NETMASK=255.255.255.0 NETWORK=10.0.0.0 BROADCAST=10.0.0.255 ONBOOT=yes HWADDR=00:a0:0c:45:14:32 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=no HWADDR=00:10:4b:a2:d1:a9 and here is /etc/sysconfig/network NETWORKING=yes FORWARD_IPV4=true HOSTNAME=hananxx.myisp.com DOMAINNAME=myisp.com GATEWAY=10.0.0.1 GATEWAYDEV=eth0 --------------------- Hanan AL-Shargi
