Hi. I do a lot of this kind of thing, so let me tell you what my setup is.
I have two boxes that I use to make my music with. One is an old 486-66 msdos-

ethernet, and I have the MS SMB client for the dos side of the dos box
I was wondering if anyone can give me a quick rundown on what's needed

Hi Everyone,
I've managed to get tcp/ip networking up and running on my Debian machine.
I have my 3com 3x509 configured to ip address 192.168.0.1, I have one other

How can I get my debian machine to see(ping) the other machine?

Get a rescue disk (like the one you used to originally install debian).

If your new bash is in /usr/local that's likely the problem. You need a

Would you care to substantiate this so that we might have some
intelligent comment from both sides?

Just as an aside, I think the addition of the pppconfig script during
installation was a real nice touch. For most normal cases, it gets an
ISP connection set up very quickly and saves a lot of confusion and
