First, thanks for the reply. The only changes were the recent updates in potato wrt to Netscape and libc. However, before I was working on my ipchains rule sets. At times the link would fail, which I ascribed to some bad rules. So... it was flaky starting last week. Not sure if it matters but the ipchains -L command would get stuck at times. From the error messages, it at first glance seems that my routing is messed up. The routing tables *seem* OK, but of course I could be overlooking something, which is what I wanted to have double checked. If the routing is OK, then yes, the cable could be bad or even one of the cards, I suppose. > > If this has never worked, are you using a crossover cable?

Well the link light is on, but the ACK and COL lights are not on . The ACK light may indicate something, but I'd reckon the COL light means "collision" which I supoose should not be on. > good luck, Thanks, apparently I need it. (: -- Cliff
