Re: [gentoo-user] Question about /etc/conf.d/net entry

[Shawn Singh]

Dan,

The cable checked out. I used it to hookup my work laptop with the other
laptop I was using as my client, and was able to ping each host. The fact
that I had no link made me curious ... and I realized it made user error ...
I was "SURE" that I verified the NIC I was plugging into was eth1, as I've
got 3 NICs in the machine ... the one with no link is really eth2 ... not
eth1 ... I plugged into the correct interface, and (perhaps) needless to
say, my client is now seeing the gateway and the gateway sees the client.

Thanks for the pointers on my config. They helped me ensure that I had my
machine setup properly!

Thanks,

Shawn
