how to connect two computers in redhat linux9. i have been using
ethernet interface and cable to connect the two systems.how can i know
they are connected and how to share files

If you are going to connect them directly you have to use a crossover
ethernet cable (1<->3 and 2<->6) If you go though a switch or a hub you
need regular ethernet cable

Agreed, this should be a save bet. Though modern nics will quite
often autosense/change Rx/Tx lines if you connect them with a
straight through cable directly.

The Intel controller in my box does exactly this:

01:09.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82541GI/PI Gigabit
Ethernet Controller

OK, you might be out of luck with cheapo or/and older cards. But
it's well worth a try before looking for a cross-over cable,
especially if you don't have one flying around, YMMV.

Then you have to give each an ip address
Make the first 10.0.0.2 and the other 10.0.0.3
Now do
ping 10.0.0.2 from 3. If you get a response you are connected.

Indeed!
