i problem i state here is not particularly about freebsd but it's still related to network and has recently made me very much confused. the problem is when i try to put two computers with cyrix 6x86 and intel pentium 4 in the same network there is no communication between the computers. ----- what i did till now::::: -- i connected the two computers by cross wire cable. there is no communication. -- i connected the two computers by a 10 Mbps network hub, still there is no communication -- the network card i have used is Realtek 8139 (10/100 Mbps) in both the computers -- i monitored the transmitted packets by using ::tcpdump:: and ::ethereal:: and what i found was::::: the cyrix 6x86 computer transmits the packets but cannot receive packets sent to it. -- the cyrix 6x86 has processor speed of about 133 Mhz and intel pentium 4 of 1.8 Ghz -- the cyrix 6x86 can communicate with pentium computers. i tried it in a different network -- the pentium 4 can communicate with other pentium 4 computers. i also tried it in a differeent network. ------------------- that's all i had done till now. is there any possibility that the processor speed can affect the network?? or is there any other reason that i may have overlooked ?? i am really confused and don't know what to do as i need the network as soon as possible. ------------------------------------------ --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
