Alright. After much deliberation and several
changes of hardware (want your P90 back, Nate?), I've decided to actually try to
set up a router. Linux recognizes the two ne2k compatible PCI cards (A
LinkSys and a NetGear) and enjoys assigning IP addresses to them. For
testing purposes I pluged eth1 into my home network and started ping-ing around
after setting a couple of my (ugh) Windoze boxes to 192.168.0.* addies.
(Exact information: My computer: 192.168.0.2 / Parents' : 192.168.0.3 /
Router : 192.168.0.1 / Netmask for all: 255.255.255.0) I cannot be pinged
on the internal network, nor can I ping. Granted that the two Windoze
boxes cannot ping each other, either. (sighs) Anyways, I plugged the
crossover cable from the cable modem (another sigh). I restart (because I
can), login as root and /sbin/ifconfig eth0 up. Then a /sbin/dhcpcd eth0
and I wait...and wait...and wait...and then it dies. Nothing, no messages,
no eth0. Is my computer stupid, or is the hub stupid,
or...yeah?
