Please help. I honestly believe I have tried everything. I have printed out every guide and followed all instructins, Reinstalled twice but noting. All I want to do is netowrk my Linux box to my XP box with the crossover cable. I know the netwrok cards work and the cable becuase it is a dual boot and xp works no problems.

 

My XP address is 192.168.0.1 and masks as 255.255.255.0 with the gateway as 192.168.0.1, It has 2 cards but the other is disabled.

 

My Linux box has 2 cards eth0 and eth1 installed, eth1 is connected to XP

 

ifcfg-eth1 says

Device=eth1

bootpro=static

ipaddr=192.168.0.3

netmask=255.255.255.0

network=192.168.0.0

broadcast=192.168.0.255

onboot=yes

MII_not supported=yes

 

ifcfg-eth0

Device=eth0

bootpro=static

ipaddr=192.168.0.2

netmask=255.255.255.0

network=192.168.0.0

broadcast=192.168.0.255

onboot=yes

MII_not supported=yes

 

netowrk says..

 

hostname=tux.mylan.com

networking=yes

gateway=192.168.0.1

gatewaydev=eth1

 

Firewall is set to allow all.

 

hosts says

127.0.0.1, , localhost

192.168.0.1, winxp.mylan.com winxp

192.168.0.2 , tux.mylan.com tux

192.168.0.3 , tux.mylan.com tux

 

route says

destination gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface

192.168.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1

192.168.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1

127.0.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1

default winxp.mylan.com 0.0.0.0 ug 0 0 0 eth1

 

ifconfig

 

says basically

First thing I would do is remove one of the cards or disable it in the BIOS.

 

In any case, the IP addresses of the 2 cards should be on different networks - 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.1.2 for instance.

 

I have a howto here for what you are trying to do: http://www.iwpcs.co.uk/simple_net_setup.html

Hope it helps!
