I am using two different cards 3Com 3c905 (PCI) and 3c509b (ISA). The address are 192.168.5.5 and 192.168.5.10 respectivly with a netmask of 255.255.255.0 The problem is that I am unable to ping across the boxs. I am not using a hub thus I am using a cross cable for direct connection. However when I run one of the box using win95, I was able to ping each other. Thus I believe that there is nothing wrong with the cards and cable. Is there sometime that I might have miss out? Hope you all can help me on this. Thanks a lot.
