Hello, I am lost..
Situation: 2 Linux boxs both with Debian, one slink the other hamm. Both have network NE2K cards and both are seen by Linux. The Slink box has a ppp connection to the net but I don't as of right now need to access the net w/the hamm computer. I just want each box to see each other for right now. (ie ping and telnet) other stuff will come later. I have read the NET-3-HOWTO but I kinda lost on it. topology- two node star(dumb hub) (media utp) In my slink box, I have a resolv.conf set up for my ppp connection to my isp right now. So in the NET-3-howto it shows me to set up resolv.conf up with a domain, search and nameservers..which are there for the ISP but how would I "add too" that for use for the eth0 too? I have named my computers really simple like: slink box w/ppp is names warhammer and the other box hamm box is named inferno (heh my soon to be a firewall<g>) These arn't real domain names or anything..sigh..see were my lowbe arse is right now? What IP can I use for both the eth0 cards on each one? right now I am thinking : warhammer will have 192.168.0.2 and the inferno will be 192.168.0.1 ...does this look ok? (I have no static IP, offical domainname to use) I have used ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.# netmask 255.255.255.0 up on each one.. but this is where I am.... I need to edit /etc/ resolv.conf & hosts and then add route.. is this it? then is should be good to at least ping each other? or telnet in ? Still not sure how I would go add the eth0 info ontop of my resolv.conf ppp(isp) info on the one box.. (yea my isp uses dynamic) I don't need my network to use the ppp (WWW) yet..just to see each other.. Can someone take some time to help me a bit more? Please don't be criptic..
