dear list i yesterday played around with a Prolific PL2301 usb host to host adapter to connect two machines using netgraph after # ngctl mkpeer udbp0: eiface data ether # ifconfig nge0 inet 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.2 on the other machine) i got (ifconfig) nge0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255 ether 00:00:00:00:00:00 and nge0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 192.168.1.2 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255 ether 00:00:00:00:00:00 now i wonder how to set the MAC addresses? in man ifconfig i could not find the answer and ... i think they should be set to something unique, right besides ... (this might be interrelated) i cannot ping the other host (if i use "iface data inet" and "ifconfig ng0 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.2" (10.0.0.2 10.0.0.1 on the other machine) i can ping but the connection seems to be instable) TIA Zheyu -- +++ GMX - Mail, Messaging & more http://www.gmx.net +++ Bitte lächeln!
