Sorry, but do I leave the zeroconf hostname and gateway empty as they are by default ?

What about the dns ?

Ooo I'm asking toooooo much, Cause it's still LinuxQuestions.org

Anmar · 09-09-2003, 09:26 AM

I'm still stuck in that point .

Can you write the output of ifconfig (on both machines) here please?

Maybe then we can find a solution (Just cut/paste the damn thing)

Anmar · 09-09-2003, 11:23 PM

There is nothing showing when I type the if config command .

It show this only :

>

That's all .
It's like typing an article .

When I boot up,
It shows that it started vsftpd

Starting vsftpd [OK]

Or somthing similer

Does that mean vsftpd working ?

What do I have to do now Please ?

Satriani · 09-10-2003, 06:07 AM

Anmar: you are working on a linux machine right??

Okay, lets try again:
type in the the following please, and mark the (lack of) spaces!!!

Code:

/sbin/ifconfig

So it's ifconfig and not if config (standsfor InterFaceconfig i believe)
Then post the output here please?

That's how I work with my machine .
Now how can I change the nubmers to make the 2 machines has same numbers ?

Anmar · 09-10-2003, 07:47 AM

Wait, I can't do it in the other machine (notebook)
It doesn't show any inet eth0 address !!!

What to do ?

Satriani · 09-10-2003, 10:22 AM

So it seems that the other machine only shows a LO address ?
That would mean that the NIC on that machine is not properly configured.

U know to config that ?

Anmar · 09-11-2003, 02:45 AM

Don't think so,

Satriani · 09-11-2003, 04:36 AM

Mmmmm....

Depending on the kind of networkcard in there, you should be able to config it. (if the hardware is seen by linux.

The machine who doesn't have a working network card. Which distro is on it?

Anmar · 09-11-2003, 06:26 AM

We tried to use the network cards in windows before .
They worked very well .
There is no not working network card .

the notebook ( the one I couldn't find eth0 inet address in ) has mandrake 9.1 installed on it, "Dell"

Desktop ( I found eth0 inet address ) has the latest redhat installed ot it "eMachines"

Nothing gone wrong when we were using windows .

Do you think something broke up ?

Satriani · 09-11-2003, 06:30 AM

The "not working" eth0 card, is in a notebook huh?

So, just to make sure: is it a pcmcia card? If so, is your pcmcia-service running ?

Sat

Anmar · 09-11-2003, 06:36 AM

OK, I don't add cards manually, It's a builtin network card .

And how to k'now if the pcmcia service running or it's not ?

Sorry, But I'm very new in networking .
