I am trying to set up a 10BaseT peer to peer network of 2 linux computers
(want to eventually add 1 win9x computer later). I can't find any
documentation on setting up this kind of thing. The Networking overview, the
NET-3 HOWTO, and the RH6.0 install guide all seem to have either bad
instructions or they don't work. Anyways, I've been up all night 2 days in a
row, and I need this network to happen. I am using 2 PCI ne2000 based cards
if that is important, but I think software configuration is my problem. My
error is "cant find route to remote host" or something like that when I try
to telnet to the other computer using ip addresses that I set up. If anyone
can help, Email me...

Native networking is built into Linux. If you have correctly configure your
network card and IP, netmask etc. You should be able to ping the other
computer, vise versa. If that can be done then the 2 computers are
networked.

If you want to transfer file etc then you have to configure the nfs or
samba.

use ifconfig command to see if your network setup properly on each of the
computer.
also route to see if routing is setup properly.

You can get the trinity OS document from David Ranch's web site. It is an
excellent reading to the whole Linux setup.

So, make a route.
First do
route -n
to see what you have now.
We also do not know what ethernet addresses you have assigned the
various machines. Lets say in the 192.168.0.x range
then add
route add -net 192.168.0.0 eth0

(of course first of all you should make sure that eth0 is actually
running on your machine
ifconfig will tell you if eth0 is up)

But more simply you could just use the control-panel in redhat, choose
the network configuration tool, and configure your network with that.

I assume that they both have the same settings, with the exception of
IP addresses (i.e, mask, etc).

Can they ping each other?

Have you listed them in their respective /etc/hosts file?

What does the ifconfig command tell you? Do you have an eth0?

uncommonly entertaining thread...
