1. Yes, I configured 3c509 with DOS configuration program and set the media type to coax. 2. Yes, I already terminated both ends with terminators. So, as I uploaded before, netstat -rn shows both machines get each other's ethernet card id. Thanks for your help. -----Original Message----- >On Thu, 19 Nov 1998, Tetsuji Rai wrote: > >> I'm thinking of connecting 2 computers by ether net (10BASE2)., one of which >> is connected to Internet by PPP.
