Ok, I don't get it..
I have laptop with Tigon3 card, and desktop with 3c59x, and I used to be able to connect them using crossover (I think its cross-over, not 100% sure) when the desktop was Windows. Now with Gentoo on both, I can set their IPs manually but they DO NOT PING each other. Sorry but I'm a little frustrated. On both I set the ifconfig as such
desktop:
| Code: | | ifconfig eth1 192.168.0.20 broadcast 192.168.0.255 netmask 255.255.255.0 |
laptop:
| Code: | | ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.21 broadcast 192.168.0.255 netmask 255.255.255.0 |
Now, I have anther network card up on my home LAN on the desktop, but for now I just want the desktop and laptop to start talking (even if its just ssh). But NOTHING...
here's teh desktop settings:
| Code: |
eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:60:08:B0:86:CF
inet addr:192.168.0.20 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:153 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:11 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:4
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:21640 (21.1 Kb) TX bytes:2780 (2.7 Kb)
Interrupt:12 Base address:0xcc00

On laptop its pratically the same (excpet its eth0). What am I doing wrong here? |

I've had similiar problems when trying to specify IP information directly into ifconfig. Sometimes the net card seems to get 'hung'. Edit your ifcfg-eth0 file (Somewhere under /etc), and set the IP info in there, then do:
ifdown eth0
ifup eth0
On each machine, and see if that fixes it.

I set the /etc/conf.d/net on both machines if thats what you were saying, and they both set my ip to 0.0.0.1 even though I stated:
| Code: | config_eth1=("192.168.0.20 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast
192.168.0.255") |

Try using 'net-config eth0'... There may be another file that needs configured, net-config will handle it all for you.

| What package does net-config come with? |

Umm, it was installed on my base system. It's also on the liveCD.

make damn sure you have a cross-over cable... its different from a regular ethernet cable.... if you dont, it just wont work. period.

You can also enable Fast switching in your network options if you don't have a crossover cable.
EDIT: Be sure and read the help in the kernel config, as it seems only certain NICs can support it, such as tulip based ones. |

| Tigon3 is Gigabit network card, crossover cable is not essential. It will work with both cables. |
