I've been trying for two days now to get two 3.2-S boxes talking to each other with a crossover cable. After searching the archives it sounds like its an easy thing to do, for everybody else at least. Here's what I've been using. Computer A: P120, Intel EtherExpress 10/100 ifconfig fxp0 inet 10.0.0.2 netmask 0xfffffffc route add 10.0.0.3 10.0.0.2 Computer B: P200, 3Com 3c509 ifconfig ep0 inet 10.0.0.3 netmask 0xfffffffc route add 10.0.0.2 10.0.0.3 after doing the above, then type ifconfig fxp0, get "status: no carrier". Thought that was the problem, so replaced fpx0 board with NE2000T (ed0) same configuration but get "device timeout" for every attempted access to the board. man pages says that error is the result of an irq conflict, so I set ed0's irq to 8. Same problem. Back to fxp0 board since it worked on the campus LAN (10 MBps) just a few days ago... What do I do about the "no carrier" message? Do I have two bad NIC's or am I doing something wrong?
