Re: Home Networking
It looks like your linux system is set up okay. (Confirm that it's
okay by using "ifconfig" to dump the interfaces the kernel knows
about). What about your windows box?
A couple of quick questions:
Is the link light on for each connected port on the hub?
If not, then you may have a problem with 10/100 Mbps NICs.
If all the necessary link lights are on, then look at the
configuration of your windows machine via control panel->network. Set
it's ip address statically to something on 192.168.1.0 ; look at the
routing results via "route print" - the 192.168.1.0 net should be
there. Try pinging from windows->linux and linux->windows.
If the above does not work then you may have a problem with the linux
network driver and the NIC in the linux box. What is the name of your
card?
