Hi,
Ive been using linux (slackware 9.1) for a bit now, and a I recently got a Mac Powerbook G3. I am trying to set up a simple lan so I can do internet sharing, file sharing etc. but I cant get the mac to see the linux box.
My linux box is connected to the net via a usb dsl modem. It is also running apache, and has a site on
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:3000/
I have connected both machines to a hub, and ran this command:
ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 broadcast 192.168.0.255 netmask 255.255.255.0
and set up a static ip on the laptop:
ip: 192.168.0.101
subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
router address: 192.168.0.1
If, from the linux box I ping the laptop "ping 192.168.0.101" it pings fine. I dont know how you ping on a mac, but if I point a browser to 192.168.0.1:3000 (which I CAN see from the linux machine [and the outside world]), the hub shows that the mac sends, the linux box recieves packets, but I dont get the page.
Does anyone know what I might try to get this working?
Thank you,
nmoog
