I bought a second-hand Ethernet card, how to test it?
I have 2 PCs, both have a Ethernet card, both running
Linux. Now I connect them with a line, how to test the
connection? Is there Linux command that send a message
thru eth0 interface to display on the other PC? Thanks!
Let me elaborate on what 0yvind said.
You cannot directly connect two computers together using a regular
network cable. You either need a special cross-over network cable or
you need two regular cables and a hub or switch.
