It happened to me. not silly at all... the layer one problems are probably the most common. i did check, believe it or not, the first time i was getting frustrated the cable was going from the nic on the FreeBSD box to the nic on my XP box and i was getting really frustrated that the switch wasn't lighting up. :) however, i've resolved all layer 1 issues. the cable has been tested for both nics... the status changes from no carrier to active. so i know which nic is which. however, now i'm getting another issue. pcn1 is not taking it's ip address. it seems that only pcn0 has an ip address. but i still can't ping anything outside of the machine itself. :/ __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
