Hello,

last Months I have tried to set up a network myself several times without success. Now that I got a notebook I had to try again. I followed the necessary steps in the Gentoo Handbook und set up all I had to, but I am still unable to let the computers ping each other. 8O

My configuration is as follows

PC.eth0[@192.168.0.1] <=> ADSL
PC.eth1[@192.168.0.2] <=> Laptop.eth0[@192.168.0.3]

Here are some infos...
Code:
@PC
ifconfig:

I'm guessing the problem lies in the physical connection. Do the LED's of the network interfaces indicate there is a connection?

And how did you connect PC.eth1 and Laptop.eth0? Just with a single network cable? Or with a hub or switch in between?
If you want to connect both network interfaces with just a cable, make sure you are using a UTP crosslink cable. A regular UTP cable, won't work (only works with a hub or switch).

Hey, thanks. That was the right hint. I bought a new cable and it works fine now.
