I now have a working connection between these 2 computers, I have succesfully
transferred files by ftp, but this is only in the local network. So...
Any suggestions?
Both the PC and the Mac has a static IP address which is used in the local
network. My connection to the internet, there I
get an automatic IP address from
my ISP.
What does ipconfig say? I would edit your
/etc/network/interfaces to get a dynamic IP from
your XP machine and list the XP's IP as the
gateway and you should be done. I guess it
should work with a fixed IP as well if you have
the gateway right. If you don't get it working
easily, send the contents of your /etc/network/interfaces file. - John
Well. I have reconfigured the system as you said.
But the Powerbook can't identify the ADSL modem.
It ONLY works with the PC. Perhaps I should have
said that from the beginning, oops. :-(
But now I know how to do it if I buy another
modem, which I can't do right now btw.
Any suggestion about a good ADSL modem(minimum 8Mbit) which works with Linux?
Can't the Powerbook access the internet through the PC in another way? :-/
If not, I will temporary shut off internet
sharing so that I at least can use ftp through my little
netowrk.
