hi there,

thanks for the replies, but I didnt get the required solution..
so I am elaborating the problem here.

There are 2 m/cs with RHL6.1 with NE2000 compatible cards. Use RJ45 (no hubs n stuff)
Both NICs are detected OK at boot. I just want to have the 2 m/cs (NICs) to talk with 
eachother
so that I can practice more interesting n/w programming than with lo.

/etc/conf.modules :
alias eth0 ne
options ne io=0x300 irq=10

/etc/hosts :
192.168.0.1     gnr.rock        gnr     rock

route -n :
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
192.168.0.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth0
127.0.0.0       0.0.0.0         255.0.0.0       U     0      0        0 lo

ifconfig :
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:80:48:9D:CD:A8
          inet addr:192.168.0.1  Bcast:192.168.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

Sorry for the extra details... but could anyone help me figure out 
exactly where I am going wrong?

Thanks in advance,
james.
