Hello,
I have two computer that I want to connect directly, similarly as I did
long time ago with Null-Modem cable ( or LapLink cable).
I have obtained a crossover ethernet cable that I plug in network card
of each computer. Now the problem is how to configure eth0 on both
computer so they can communicate.
In /etc/hosts on both computers I have
192.168.231.2 neolit
192.168.231.3 paleolit
On one computer I have this entry in /etc/network/interfaces
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.231.3
pointopoint 192.168.231.2
netmask 255.255.255.255
When I run command route on this computer I get
# route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
neolit * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 eth0
I can ping paleolit on this computer.
But ping neolit does not work as expected.
On other computer I have this
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.231.2
pointopoint 192.168.231.3
netmask 255.255.255.255
Same command on this computer gives me
# route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
paleolit * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 eth0
On this computer I can successfully run ping neolit
but not ping paleolit.
Anyway on each computer I can use eth0 interface for any local service
(smtp, http ...) but I can not connect to other side of the cable.
Can somebody tell what I need to change in /etc/network/interfaces entry
for eth0 or is there some other setting that need to be done?
Thanks
Martin
