Hi there,
I'm trying to connect two PC's with a network cable. A simple ping
doesn't work in either direction. One machine has two network cards.
So I can see that its routing table may need to be adjusted. But the
other machine has only one network card, and the cable goes straight
to the first machine. How can I find out what is wrong? Below is the
output of
ifconfig -a
route -n
ping <IP-address>
for both. The machines run livecd's (Knoppix 3.0 -- 2 network cards /
Puppy 1.0.4 -- one network card)
If I connect any of the three network cards to a router, I can reach
the Internet from both machines. So I don't think it is a hardware or
driver problem.
Would dmesg output help??

Machine 1 has one network card, its IP address should be 192.168.2.115
