Hi again.
I realise my last previous
question on how to assign an IP address to a host was vague. I may need to
indulge in some explaining.
I'm encountering several blocks (basically due
to a lack of thorough knowledge of Linux) while setting up a network. I'll begin
from the beginning.
I with my project team have developed a new
router (/routing algorithm) that we got to demonstrate at our undergrad project
exhibition. This we intend to do with a file transfer demo where the routing is
done by our router (instead of RIP). For this, we want to set up a network of 3
hosts. We are using PPP with serial ports in a NULL MODEM SERIAL CONNECTION.
I've installed Caldera on
two machines and configured both to be hosts. Now I want to assign each one IP
addresses, use ports ttyS* and bring up a communication link. Because I'm using
a null modem (modem absent) connection, I cross connected the modem cable (used
between the serial ports belonging to the two) internally i.e. TXD line of one
goes to RXD line of the other and vice versa. (Has any of you done this any
time?) In effect, this is not ethernet cuz I'm not using any lan cards.
To begin setting up the link,
sorry for including too much into a single mail. Thought this
would make it clearer. Thanks a ton in advance. I've asked for a lot of info.
That's because, there is a lack of Linux expertise in my college and so nobody
to solve the small, nagging problems.
Deepa.
