I'm not running ipfw on the laptop, though the desktop, which is acting as a NAT router, is running ipfw in the 'open' configuration. But I've also tried using ping and ssh (ie. putty) on some Windows boxes around with the same result: no response. One more symptom: in order to ftp FROM the laptop, I have to use passive mode. The strange thing is that I run tcpdump on the laptop while pinging from the desktop, and I see the icmp echo requests. Same thing trying to ssh/ftp/etc. Ok, now here comes the spirit-crushing part: when I switch to this $1.98 generic 10mbs nic I bought from CompUSA, I don't have this problem; it works fine! But I want the 10/100 nic to work. Wah! Thanks in advance for any ideas/assistance. Steve K. U.F.O. - "For the feeler gauge in you."
