OK, well, this is my hosts from laptop.cybcon.com (192.168.0.1) 127.0.0.1 localhost.cybcon.com localhost 192.168.0.1 laptop.cybcon.com laptop 192.168.0.1 laptop.cybcon.com. 192.168.0.2 alpha.cybcon.com alpha This is my hosts from alpha.cybcon.com (192.168.0.2) 127.0.0.1 localhost.cybcon.com localhost 192.168.0.2 alpha.cybcon.com alpha 192.168.0.2 laptop.cybcon.com. 192.168.0.1 laptop.cybcon.com laptop These systems are connected by a crossover cable NIC-NIC. I know the crosover cable is good, I am useing it right now in windows to test it. The ifconfig statement I use on laptop is: ifconfig ep0 inet 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up I have tried it without the "up" at the end also I just cant seem to ping from one system to the other. I know its not hardware, I am useing the SAME pcmcia NIC in my windows 98 laptop and pinging alpha just fine.......
