Hello and thanks

A few weeks ago I had an Problem to ping to other Computer in my
LinuX network.

I got many E-Mail-Helps.

The Problem were solved by:

Setting other IP Address.

First

2 Computer Network:
a) voyager IP 192.168.0.1
b) enterprise IP 192.169.1.1 don't work (only ping localhost)

Second

a) voyager IP 192.168.0.1
b) enterprise IP 192.168.0.2 it works without any problems.

I'dont know exactly wy, but it works.

If there is anyone outthere who knows why the first IP adress work an the
second not, please Mail me!

Thanks in andvance

These are on two *different* IP subnets; as 192.*.*.* is a block of
class Cs, the default netmask will be 255.255.255.0, which makes
192.168.0.0 & 192.168.1.0 different subnets. So they won't be able to
reach each other without a router in between, which you don't have.

Yep, now they are on the same subnet (192.168.0.0) and will be able to
talk to each other without a router.

Perhaps you should try to get hold of 'The Linux Network Administrators
Guide' (part of the Linux Documentation Project) and read that
carefully. It'll make clear why the first didn't work, and the second
did.
