You say you are "still getting some errors when I check eth2"? Some? The report above says that all TX packets failed due to "carrier" reasons. Are you able to do anything over this conenection? I'm not clear on what ip reports as a "carrier" problem, but the name prompts me to look for a hardware problem ... bad NIC at one end or the other (as you've already surmised), bad cable, or bad hub/switch. (Or conceivably bad NIC-to-NIC handshaking if you're using a crossover cable rather thn a hub or switch.) Does anyone actually know what the "carrier" designator means in this report? I'm only guessing, as I said. -- -------------------------------------------"Never tell me the odds!"-------- Ray Olszewski -- Han Solo Palo Alto, California, USA [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ leaf-user mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user SR FAQ: http://leaf-project.org/pub/doc/docmanager/docid_1891.html
