can't ping?

sriontoc · 04-18-2005, 05:28 PM

I'm trying to fileshare between a linux FC3 and a winXP. I know the cards and the crossover cable works because I have transfered it before and can also get it to work between winME and winXP.
they simply wont connect, and I can't get them to ping each other? I've tryed specifieing the ip address, even though I'm sure DHCP is installed. I've tryed editing smb.conf but nothing seems to work? I've also tryed disableing both firewalls and nothing?

Do: netstat -r and post the output here.

Your ethernet card (eth0) doesn't appear to be configured.

Mine:

$ netstat -r
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface

how do I configure it? I thought FC3 did it when it installed?
