I was wrong I have over 3 meg of ram. (what was I thinking/reading?)
I am running linux on both boxes. (I copied some critical directories
using sneakernet, well leaning-net, they are on the same desk) Both
boot screens acknoledge the presence of a plip port (lpip1 on the
pentium and plip0 on the 386) both route tables show the other
machines full host name and both ifconfigs show the local and remote
name. I even added route add default gw other.machine to try
something new. Still no dice. I noticed something wierd.
The ifconfig on the pentium looks like:
plip0 Link encap:10Mbps Ethernet HWaddr FC:FC:80:FD:9A:20
inet addr:128.253.154.32 P-t-P:128.253.154.33 Mask:255.255.0.0
UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0
TX packets:529 errors:547 dropped:0 overruns:0
Interrupt:5 Base address:0x3bc
The IP address is random, I got it as the example in the installation
HOW-TO (the virtual brewry uses the same address). The other computer
has the next address XXX.33. However the other computer has no TX
packets only RX packets (after trying a ping) All the errors show up
on the TX line. IS this important?
RX packets:35 errors 0:
TX packets:0 errors 54:
Looks weird.
