I can browse/ssh/ftp/ping anything FROM my laptop, but from another
machine (call it the desktop) I cannot ssh/ftp/ping TO the laptop.
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.
