Hello.
I two PCs both using the same cable modem connection through a simple
cable splitter.
pc1 ---\
\
=> cable-modem -- isp-network
/
pc2 ---/
Each machine gets its ip address via dhcp from the isp.
Both machines work fine, i.e. both machines can communicate with the
internet with no problem. However, they can't talk directly to each
other.
Presumably(?) I need to do something with the route and/or arp setups, but
I'm not sure what.
I tried using arp on each pc
arp -s $other-pc-ip $other-pc-hwaddr (on both pcs)
but that made no difference.
I tried route (on both pc's) in a couple of different ways
route add -host $other-pc-ip eth0
and
route add -host $other-pc-ip gw $other-pc-ip eth0
but still no joy.
(Perhaps my arp and route thoughts are all wrong.)
Suggestions welcome on the best way to get them to talk directly to each
other (other than buying one of the small hubs that are more normally
used).
