networking 2 pcs
I have two pcs connected by a crossover cable. Both have their nics
appropriately configured, (to 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.2, resp). I
cannot
get them to ping each other. I think the problem is that the telnetd
service
is shut off in both of them. The slackware box is connected to the
internet so I don't want to turn telnetd on there. The debian box is
only connected to the slackware box, so it is the obvious choice.
I have potato installed on the debian box. The telnetd daemon is not
presently
installed--I can't find it anyway. When I do apt-get install
/cdrom.../telnetd...
I get the message that the telnetd package can't be found, even if I
give the entire path the file as found with the find command. I have
tried it
with and without the .deb suffix.
I'm new to debian and could use some help.
Thanks, JWC
