1. Get a Cross Cable
2. setup the Ips of both Pcs
eg: pc1 -> 192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0
pc2 -> 192.168.0.2/255.255.255.0
3. bring up the interface if not up already. /sbin/ifconfig eth0 up
4. try pinging the box
ping 192.168.0.2 (from pc1)
5. That shouls be it..
so exchange data, you could either try scp/ftp/samba/nfs
Hello, thxs for your quick answer.
Where do I have to set up the IP? is it in resolv.conf?
YOu can try using IIRC /sbin/ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
(actually you know what.. scratch that.. I forget..)
use redhat-config-network
to determine if you have a valid ip already.. try /sbin/ifconfig eth1
Even easier:
On pc1:
ifcfg eth0 192.168.0.1/24
On pc2:
ifcfg eth0 192.168.0.2/24
Not unless you have done something like "alias ifcfg=/sbin/ifconfig" ;-)
