I have two 486 machines running 1.1. Each has a 3c509.
I'm trying to get them to talk to each other, but can't get the
two to talk to each other. The obvious question is, are they
physically connected to each other -- yes, and the cable is terminated
on each end.
The steps I'm going through are as follows:
1. ifconfig ep0 inet <address> netmask <netmask> broadcast
<broadcast address>
I do this on each machine (ceres and callisto).
Ifconfig -a then reports that the interface is up.
2. route add ceres callisto (on callisto)
route add callisto ceres (on ceres)
Netstat -r (on callisto) then says that the route
to ceres is through the ep0 interface on callisto,
and vice versa for ceres.
At this point I can ping each machine from itself, but I can't
ping the other machine. If anyone can tell me what I need to at this
point, please do so. I'd also like to know what man page/document
would have told me the right thing to do.
