ppp/local network config

[Russell T. Brunet]

I have those. It works fine on my redhat box and both mac os 9 and x.

>>Hi all!

>>I'm trying to configure my local network on my yellowdog G4. I am also

>>My isp is earthlink and I can connect to it fine using os X, 9.2, and

>>panel.
>>
>>Again, I have no problem whatsoever on my RedHat box, and I'm using all of

>>
>>Ok, now on to my second question which may be related. I want to be able to

>>do I set up a standalone self-contained network using a crossover cable
>>between the two computers?
>>
>>Thank in advance for any help you can provide,
