by Hey there .. I got crynwyrs plip.com and Linux with plip compiled in..
now I have a plip cable ... seems crynwyr says 16 should go to 16
but Linux says nothing .. I am not sure if it makes any difference one
way or the other.
I tried both ways.
Anyway, I can get packets to go accross the cable... as
shown by both pktwatch (crynwyrs stuff) and Linux'es ifconfig,
but for some reason all the packets sent to
the DOS box from Linux are being dropped according to pktwatch.
Also, when I try to telnet to the Linux box I get ncsa's telnet telling me
that the remote host or gateway is not responding , but Linuxes
ifconfig shows packets being received...
Can anyone provide me with some clues as to what I am missing ?
Also how can I configure it so that I can telnet into the DOS box ?
Thankyou very much.
Perhaps also you can direct me to a more appropriate newsgroup.
