I know it works because I use it for my DHCP cable connection. - I'm confident my hosts and exports files are OK because I have mounted file systems of each machine on the other using lp0. - The pccard is found and pccardd assigns ed0 to my linksys etherfast pcmpc100. - dhclient also worked on my laptop where I work. - I got myself a crossover cable to connect the two machines directly, but when I try to mount a file system from either machine on the other I get NFS Portmap: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Unable to send I have tried ifconfig at the command line and using sysinstall to try to set these up, but no luck. I thought I was past the hard part when my pccard seemed to be set up properly. It's probably just my ignorance showing again. Any pointers greatly appreciated.
