Can't connect two debian boxes via PLIP
I'm trying to connect my PII 350 with Debian 2.2r2 potato (kernel
2.2.17) with my PIII 800 with Debian woody (2.2.18 recompiled) using a
"laplink" cable. I've followed PLIP-Howto steps, but even when I already
tried two cables (which work under Windows, I know this doesn't prove
anything, but..), I still can't make this to work. I stop in the ping
step. My potato says plip0: transmit timeout(1,87) and my woody stays
forever waiting for an answer. This are my settings:
potato:
plip0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr FC:FC:C0:A8:00:01
inet addre:192.168.0.1 P-t-P:192.168.0.2 Mask:255.255.255.0

woody:
plip0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr FC:FC:C0:A8:00:02

192.168.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 plip0
They're supposedly ok, but when I try to connect they don't communicate.
¿any suggestion?
