Hi, Oops, lost the thread "turning off dhcp" end.
Thanks to Neil. Both boxen can ping each other. Now to clear up a few loose ends: Why on the fresh(2.6.15) install does net.eth0 start automatically and the older(2.6.12) have to be started manually? Is this a bug or a feature? I note the abundance of choices in portage/net-ftp. What do I need? I'll just be moving files back and forth. I don't think security is an issue. Is ftp all I need? The 2.6.12(Sempron) will be the "main" machine, connected to the web via diallup. The 2.6.15(K6) I plan to use as a platform for micro develpt. emerge -pv ftp on the 2.6.12 Calculating dependencies ...done! [ebuild N ] net-ftp/ftp-0.17-r3 +ssl 52 kB but the 2.6.15 adds the +ipv6 flag. Neither make.conf mentions it. Does the .15, AMD K6-2, know something I don't? -Maxim __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
