Hi all, I am sure there is a simple solution to my problem, I am new to networking and have read the docs but still can't get it working.
I have a dsl-504 router and 2 machines running Mandrake 8.2, both machines are connected to the router which has 192.168.0.1 as the Internet. I can use the Internet from both machines and can ping each from the other. I have set them up with static addresses of PC1 192.168.0.2 and PC2 192.168.0.3. Each has its host set as PC1.HOMENET and PC2.HOMENET but when I try and connect using LAN Browser in KDE Konqueror I just get the message Could not connect to host localhost. /etc/networks reads: loopback 127.0.0.0 HOMENET 192.168.0.0 /etc/host.conf reads: order hosts,bind multi on /etc/hosts reads: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 192.168.0.2 PC2.HOMENET PC2 /etc/hosts.allow on PC2:- 192.168.0.2 PC1 on PC1:- 192.168.0.3 PC2 /etc/hosts.deny is blank I just can't figure out what I am doing wrong. Do I need any specific data on the router as far as lan operation is concerned? Please help me keep what little hair I have left regards Paul Stear -- This message was sent using Mandrake Linux and kmail
