Hi..:)
I wanna ask you about PLIP connection.
I've installed FreBSD 2.2.6 on my desktop and want to connect it
to my Linux notebook via PLIP.
I have no problem connection Linux <--> Linux with PLIP
but when i try to connect it via PLIP it didn't work.
i dont use any ethernet card on my desktop.
i simply executing command:
ifconfig lp0 my.desktop.ipaddr my.notebook.ipaddr
and ifconfig -a is:
lp0: flags=8851<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet my.desktop.ipaddr --> my.notebook.ipaddr netmask 0xffffff00
netstat -rn is:
Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif
my.notebook.ipaddr my.desktop.ipaddr UH 0 0 lp0
On my Linux notebok i simply executing commands:
ifconfig plip1 my.notebook.ipaddr pointopoint my.dekstop.ipaddr netmask
255.255.255.0
my route command:
route add my.notebook.ipaddr plip1
route add my.desktop.ipaddr plip1
route is:
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Ref Use Iface
my.dekstop.ipaddr * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 plip1
my.notebook.ipaddr * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 plip1
but the setting i did above didn't establish the connection between
my Linux & FreeBSD.
I use standar PLIP cable... i've used it many times to connect
linux <--> linux
Is there anything wrong with my setting? or maybe the PLIP cable config
for FreeBSD is different from PLIP cable for Linux?
please help me to solve this problem.
Thank you very much in Andvance.. :)
