No unusual kernel messages
I set up my card and network like this
ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
route add -net 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 eth0
likewise on the other computer but with different IP addresses
the 2 computers are connected using a crossover cable (varified that it works in
windoze)
ifconfig shows what is expected, except that the # number of packets recieved is zero
compared to the number of packets transmitted which is greater than 0.
route also shows what is expected.
Funny thing is that my card seems to try to work. When the module is installed it
reports everything correctly and even sets the card into full duplex. The transmit
light on the back even lights up during pinging but I still can't get a response. I
have tried pinging from both computers with similar results. Maybe it's time to quit?
