Ok, I have the workstation with Redhat on connected directly to my PC running w2k. I don't need a special connection, I just need to be able to ftp files back and forth. The workstation is dual bootable the other OS being w2k again. The connection when both computers are running w2k is fine, I've mapped the partion as a network drive. When it is booted into redhat the eth0 will only go active when I fix the IP address and although the Connection icon appears on my w2k computer I cannot make an ftp connection as it tells me there is an error( although not what the error is!). I set the IP address on the w2k computer to see if this would help but get the same problem. I've just used the command prompt to ping the workstation and this appears to function just fine. I then ftp'd to the same address and the message says connection refused. Same when I use the console to ping the w2k computer. There must be some setting I haven't yet activated or some sort of permission I have to set but that's all I can tell you
