Re: Install over plip

Hi again, everybody

In my ongoing attempt to get woody installed on this ol' P 133 laptop.
I installed the base system with floppies, which seems to have worked.  
I've finally convinced it to load the plip module, and it's allowing me
to add a route to my desktop box. The laptop is called roadie, and its
IP on my little LAN is 192.168.1.13.

Now, on my desktop (called miguel, on IP 192.168.1.12) I unload lp, load
plip, add a route to roadie, and try to ping him.  100% packet loss.

Try to ping miguel from roadie, and I get: 
plip0: transmit timeout(1,87)

Um.  Not exactly the response I was hoping for.

Miguel's route says:

miguel:/home/chris# route

192.168.1.13    *               255.255.255.255 UH    0      0        0 plip0

and ifconfig says:
miguel:/home/chris# ifconfig plip0

Roadie's route says:

Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway   Genmask         Flags Metric Ref   Use Iface
192.168.1.12    *         255.255.255.255 UH    0      0       0 plip0

and roadie's ifconfig:

plip0     Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr FC:FC:C0:A8:01:0D  
          inet addr:192.168.1.13  P-t-P:192.168.1.12 Mask:255.255.255.255
          UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:145 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:4 errors:52 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:52
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:10 
          RX bytes:46174 (45.0 KiB)  TX bytes:392 (392.0 b)
          Interrupt:7 Base address:0x378 

Can anybody see what's wrong about this?  Why they're not actually
communicating?  And why different errors at each end?  And, obviously,
how to fix it?

	Thanks for any guidance
