by I'm trying to connect my laptop with a PC using RH6.1's
netcfg. When I activate the plip0 interface, the following
error is reported:
netmask: Host name lookup failure
and ping, telnet don't work.
Can anyone give me some hint on what's going wrong? the
following is my configuration.
Thanks.
YuQian
P.S.
The same configuration worked well in RH6.0. And my PC
is just changed to connect to an ISP via PPP, do you think
this is the cause of the problem?
