Do you have mac os on the linux server? If so start up the linux machine in
the mac os and try to ping the powerbook from there. If that doesn't work
then there is probably a cable problem. If it works from the mac os you
know ther is something else wrong.

Subject: configuring an ftp server
I am trying to set up an ftp server under YDL 1.2.1
I installed proftpd as rpm from the YDL 1.2.1 disk and I configured
my
network in the way you can see at the end of this message. In a
first step,
I wanted to connect a PowerBook directly to the Linux fileserver
using a
ethernet cable (I used a crossed one, because I connected only two
machines
directly, right?).
On the linux machine,
ftp localhost and
ftp linuxpc
worked fine, but pinging the Powerbook failed as well as pinging the
linux
machine from the mac (ftp from the laptop to the linux machine did
not work
either). The linux machine is a PowerMac 7600/132 with a pci
ethernet card
from Asante.
Well, I actually was not sure how to set up the PowerBook. I tried
it with
the following settings:
in the TCP/IP control panel:
Connection : ethernet
using 802.3 : not checked
configuration : manually
IP-Adress: 192.168.1.23
subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
router address: <left blank>
name server address: 192.168.1.27
domain name: private.net
Further, I deactivated AppleTalk.
The Linux machine was configured as follows:
in /etc/HOSTNAME:
linuxpc.private.net
in /etc/networks:
loopback 127.0.0.0
localnet 192.168.1.0
in /etc/resolv.conf:
domain private.net
search private.net
nameserver 192.168.1.27
in /etc/sysconfig/network:
NETWORKING=yes
FORWARD_IPV4=no
HOSTNAME=linuxpc.private.net
GATEWAYDEV=
GATEWAY=
in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:
DEVICE=eth0
IPADDR=192.168.1.27
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=192.168.1.0
BROADCAST=192.168.1.255
GATEWAY=none
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=none
Any advice on what is going wrong? Thanks for your help.
Dennis
