Linux / Windows network HELP!
LockedOK, here’s the situation: I’m a Windows specialist w/ a basic understanding of networking principles and I’m trying to help my brother get my Dad’s PIII to share his cable modem on a Linux box. Basically, I’m stumped.
Here’s the architecture:The cable modem is hooked up to the Linux box to one NIC w/ a crossover cable, Another NIC on the same machine is connected to a hub w/ a straight cable and another straight cable from the hub is connected to the NIC in my Dad’s PC. All NICs are working (getting lights) but neither machine can see the other when pinged. The PC is set up with a static IP and has the Linux box’s IP set as a gateway, I’ve also mixed between no IP and no gateway but no go. My brother says he has his end set up right but I have no idea….whatever suggestions I get I’m forwarding them to him as well. This should be simple to do, I’m just not familiar enough w/ Linux or advanced networking to get it to work……
HELP!!
