I'm trying to get a direct SLIP connection between two PC's running
Linux but so far I'm unsuccessful. Both systems successfully "ping
localhost" but cannot "ping" each other. Information below:
Server: 192.9.202.9 (not connected to the Internet)
Client: 192.9.202.8 (not connected to the Internet)
I have setup a separate account on the SLIP Server. Using dip on the
client it seems that I have successfully connected to the server. (All
errlvl are 0). Doing a "ps -a" on the Server shows the following for
the serial port:
95 s00 S 0:01 -dip(192.9.202.8)
If I "ping 192.9.202.9" from the Client all I get is ping's startup
banner but no data until a ^C showing 100% packet loss.
I tried using dip interactively (dip -tv) but it won't connect.
QUESTIONS *******************
1) Do you see any Server response/prompts when using dip interactive?
2) Do you still use the dip "wait" command when using dip interactive?
3) Why won't ping work if dip is successful?
4) Should I still see -dip(192.9.202.8) running on the Server after
the client dip is complete?
Thanks for any help!
