Hi there.

I want to have the following network setup, but I
don't know how to setup my linux machines to support
communication crossover cable.

Host1 <===> Router <====> Host2

I can ping Host1 with Host2 via the router and vice
versa using a hub meaning my routing tables are setup
correctly. The problem is that when I connect the
three computers using crossover cable I can not ping
any computer.

Can anyone help me with this problem, maybe there is
something missing to be done to all the computers in
order to support communication with crossover cable.

Thanks
Lericom
