[Wylug-help] Networking Trouble

[Roger Greenwood]

Hi all,

am having trouble setting up my local network - any pointers appreciated :-

machine 1 - server - 192.168.0.1

machine 2 - slave - 192.168.0.2

std. ethernet through hub (10Meg). Both machines running SuSE 9.1

WAS working at first - set up using yast, broke due to online download (should
have left it alone). WAS able to transfer between machines, now can't even
ping each other. Slave settings untouched, server settings well screwed. Have
now abandoned yast and tried some simple stuff. At one point the server had
both eth0 and eth1 set up but only one (eth1) made the lights flash on the
hub, so that is the one that I left on.

SuSE 9.1 seems to be very different from previous and lots of online help is
not very useful/superceded.

Thanks,

Roger Greenwood.

These are some stuff from the server - any comments appreciated :-
