This week we were having a little work session where we needed to set up
four PCs in a network. We borrowed a hub and an ISDN router and set out
to do our thing.
Put in the ip addresses for the network cards, and checked the set up of
networking options, and connected the computers to the network. No joy.
Tried two computers with a crossed network cable. No joy. Tried the same
in windows. Much joy.
OK, tried the DHCP setup from yast. No joy. Just one packet got through
from one of the computers (could see the router dialing) but then
nothing.
In windows, joy.
What on earth is going on here, I've done this before, (just networking
two comps off one crossed TP cable) and it worked flawlessly.
Anything?
