From memory you can set an +</I>><i> address for an ethernet card with something like; +</I>><i> +</I>><i> ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.22 +</I>><i> +</I>><i> That implicitly brings up the connection. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> This much is already working for you as you say both PCs can reach the +</I>><i> internet. So let's take a step back. I don't want you to "publish" +</I>><i> your PC addresses, but if they are both on the same network then they +</I>><i> should both have addresses in the private network ranges. The most +</I>><i> common on routers are; +</I>><i> +</I>><i> 10.?.?.? +</I>><i> 192.168.?.? +</I>><i> +</I> +command terminal 'ifconfig' returns value for eth1, '192...', but not '10...'. + +><i> +</I>><i> Can you configure your router? Do you know if it has a web-based +</I>><i> configuration address? If you haven't come across this before, this is +</I>><i> a "web page" generated by your router which provides access to its +</I>><i> configuration by means of forms on web pages. It is normally accessed +</I>><i> by entering the address in your browser, but this cannot easily work +</I>><i> if your PC and your router are on different networks, with different +</I>><i> address ranges. For example, the router might be on 192.168.1.1 and +</I>><i> your PC is on a.b.x.x where a and b are NOT 192 and 168. +</I>><i> +</I> +yes, there is a configuration address '<A HREF="http://192...">http://192...</A>' accessible via +web browser. + +><i> Let us take one more step back. When you configured your network on +</I>><i> each computer (using MCC?) did you opt for manual or automatic (via +</I>><i> DHCP) configuration of the network address? That, I think, is the key +</I>><i> starting point. +</I>><i> +</I> +automatic dhcp. To check, the command 'drakconnect' was used to +activate the network configuration process; the default is automatic +ip (bootp/dchp) connection protocol + +><i> If it is manual then you chose the addresses and typed them in. If it +</I>><i> is automatic (via DHCP) then they will have been allocated by EITHER +</I>><i> your router (which seems unlikely given the trouble your having) OR by +</I>><i> your ISP, and that means they are permitting you to have more than one +</I>><i> public address for your location AND that the address really is +</I>><i> public; if I knew your address I could probe your network - that is +</I>><i> potentially highly risky and is why the common practice, in these +</I>><i> parts, is for each subscriber to get one public address and have the +</I>><i> modem/router provide NAT for private networks on the premises. +</I>><i> +</I> +I think the ip address is determined by the isp; if the router is +switched off and then on, a new ip address is assigned. + +><i> I hope I haven't confused the issue. Let me re-state the important +</I>><i> questions: +</I>><i> 1. Are your PC addresses similar to each other? +</I> +yes, they differ by a digit + +><i> 2. Are they in the private network range? (10.?.?.? or 192.168.?.?) +</I> +yes, 192... + +><i> 3. Do you have the make and model of your router? (yes/no will do for now.) +</I>><i> +</I> +yes +</PRE> + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="006642.html">[Mageia-discuss] home network using broadband router +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#6641">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#6641">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#6641">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#6641">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-discuss">More information about the Mageia-discuss +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
