Help needed w/ PLIP connection
Hi all:
I am having trouble debugging my plip connection.
I get clean kernel messages on bootup to the fact that the plip modules
are loaded etc.
On machine is euler and the other is gauss.
I have some out put from both boxxess.
I have used the plip cable before at work so I know that it is
working correctly.
I tried to ping the remote box unsuccessfully.
