Subject: Ethernet Configuration Woes...  :(

I'm trying to get a small ethernet network set up between my two 
computers.  One has a NE2000-compatible (16-bit) BNC ethernet card while the 
other has a NE1000-compatible (8-bit) BNC ethernet card.  The computer 
with the NE2000 is set to 10.0.0.2 while the NE1000 computer is 
10.0.0.1.  I think I've got both configured correctly, but for some 
reason I keep getting "ed1: timeout" error messages.  I've checked the 
IRQ on both computers so that can't be the problem.  I'm unable to ping 
either computer from one another.  Is there something I'm missing here?

Is there something obvious that I'm missing in my configuration?

Thanks,
