I did the necessary ifconfig to activate the 2 interfaces, but when I try to telnet or ping from either machines nothing happens. By doing a netstat -i I see that one machine is receiving and sending packets, but the second machine is sending packets but all the incoming packets are errors, and after some time I receive a message from the kernel that there is too many errors. What could be wrong? the IDE card, the cable or something I'm missing in the setting. Thanks. Samy
