... put together the 2.9.8 distribution from LRP, and I'm stuck here: Although I have two 'identical' (in the same way that snowflakes are identical) 3com cards, and they appear to be properly configured:

I cannot, by any activity, increment these stats). I base this on: 1) Unplugging the second card still lets both ip #'s respond to pings; 2) Unplugging the first card stops both addresses from pinging; and 3) This datum from another box on the network, that I'm pinging from: [....] quack (10.1.1.202) at 0:10:5a:e1:e3:8b (802.3) linux2 (10.1.1.203) at 0:10:5a:e1:e3:8b (802.3) [....] Both cards have link lights.

Any suggestions, etc. would be appreciated. (trivia q: is there any way to ping by MAC address?) Thanks!
