Re: Ethernet connection

Hi Rodolfo,

You can run "/sbin/ifconfig" in the old desktop PC to find out the IP
address in use.


From the old desktop:

# ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:19:cb:d7:b6:c5
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Bcast:127.255.255.255 Mask:255.0.0.0

O.k. so your old desktop is not getting any IP ("127.0.0.1" is the
loopback address). You have to manually setup one for it.

If you need further assintance for configuring your ethernet card on your
old desktop, just ask (also, tell us what operating system is running) :-)



Of course I need further assistance! I have Lenny on old PC and Etch on
Hyundai.

On your old PC,

ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.3 netmask 255.255.255.0 up

should be sufficient to configure its Network -- afterwards, the
communication with the laptops should work (This command is not
preserved during system restarts -- after each restart, you have to set
again the IP adress & netmask).
