With the help coming from the present mailing list, I managed to connect my
laptop with my old desktop PC via a cross ethernet cable, and to make them
communicate via ping and transfer files using rsync.
Today, strangely, on the laptop, instead of
# ifconfig
eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:03:0D:33:02:17
inet addr:192.168.0.1 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

I got:
lo Link encap:Local Loopback

inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host

, and any connection with the cross cable was impossible. Also, the command
`ifconfig eth1 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up' gave:
# ifconfig eth1 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
eth1: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device
eth1: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
Then I did:
# ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
, and then `ifconfig' gives:
# ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr

, but the connection fails:

Please help with issue
