Lets start with the static addressing. What IP/Netmasks did you use?
What did you set the gateway as? What is the topology? Debian <-->
linksys hub <--> windows. What is on the other side of the debian box? A
modem? Another ethernet? Give as much info as you can and you'll have so
much help you wont know which way to turn ;)
If its just the windows <-> debian setup. Try the following
debian (edit /etc/network/interfaces, then go 'ifdown -a; ifup -a' )
IP: 10.0.0.1
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Network: 10.0.0.0
Broadcast: 10.0.0.255
windows:
IP: 10.0.0.2
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Broadcast: 10.0.0.255
Gateway: 10.0.0.1
Make sure all link lights are on on the hub. All cat 5 is good. Then
ping. from both machines. Any luck?
Kind Regards
