OK, well, this is my hosts from laptop.cybcon.com (192.168.0.1)

127.0.0.1               localhost.cybcon.com localhost
192.168.0.1             laptop.cybcon.com laptop
192.168.0.1             laptop.cybcon.com.
192.168.0.2             alpha.cybcon.com alpha

This is my hosts from alpha.cybcon.com (192.168.0.2)

127.0.0.1               localhost.cybcon.com localhost
192.168.0.2             alpha.cybcon.com alpha
192.168.0.2             laptop.cybcon.com.
192.168.0.1             laptop.cybcon.com laptop

These systems are connected by a crossover cable NIC-NIC. I know the crosover
cable is good, I am useing it right now in windows to test it.

The ifconfig statement I use on laptop is:

ifconfig ep0 inet 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up

I have tried it without the "up" at the end also

I just cant seem to ping from one system to the other. I know its not hardware,
I am useing the SAME pcmcia NIC in my windows 98 laptop and pinging alpha just
fine.......

Help :(
