RE: [Plug] Linux/W95 LAN


If you are going to use a snm of: 255.255.255.0, change your IP addresses
to: 192.168.0.x

I think your subnet should be 255.255.0.0.  I am not sure of this as it has
been awhile since working in that area

I'm trying to set up an ethernet LAN in my house. I've got a W95 box hooked

byto a hub which is hooked up to a Linux box. The Linux box is 192.168.1.1 &

the W95 box is set to 192.168.1.2. I can't ping one w/ the other, but each 
can ping itself. When I ping the Linux box from the W95 box the light for 
the W95 box on the hub blinks. When I ping the W95 box from the Linux box it

doesn't, but it does blink when I ping the broadcast address from the Linux 
box (192.168.1.255). Both boxes have subnets set to 255.255.255.0. I know 
I've probably missed something really obvious (to somebody who knows what 
they're doing), but I just can't think what it is. Do I need to enable 
something on the W95 box? Maybe the Linux box (the ethernet interface is 
already enabled in case you're wondering)? Other than what I've mentioned, I

haven't configured anything in either box that I'd think would make a 
differenct (I did configure the ppp interface & it is on on the Linux box 
though).
