Well (sigh), after wrestling with this problem for several days, I've
decided to go back to basics and ask the questions that perhaps I should
have started with.
PROBLEM: I cannot get ethernet working for two RH8.0 machines to
communicate with each other.
STATUS: Two machines, side by side, both running RH8.0. Both machines
also can run Windows and the network works OK when using that. All
extranous things have been removed -- two machines are now connected by a
single cable (with the proper reverses -- yellow cable -- it works).
Both machines are configured as "workstations" and both have additional
packages installed to be sure all networking software is there (probably
went overboard in installing packages I do not need).
Following the instructions under the Redhat "Customization" documentation I
do SYSTEM SETTINGS --> NETWORK DEVICE CONTROL. Both machines show eth0.
However, when I try to "activate" the eth0 device it fails.
So, where do I begin? I am a great believer in RTFM but do not know where
to start over and above where I already started.
Thanks, JOHN
