List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: HELP!!!!! I've looked everywhere I can think of and I can't even get my PC and laptop to talk to each other. I configured my PC's eth1 with the address 192.168.0.1 and the laptop's eth0 to use the address 192.168.0.2. I set the laptop to use 192.168.0.1 as the gateway. I set up masquerading on the PC. But I can't even ping the PC from the laptop or the laptop from the pc, and they are directly connected with a standard network cable. What am I missing here? Did I buy the wrong cable or something?
