Ciao Mauro,
IMHO, first, make sure the NIC has enabled the 10BASE2 port instead of the
10BASET. You can check this out by connecting it to the coax backbone in
your hub, if available, and watching the activity LED while pinging from
the NT.
The same applies to the Linux box: make it ping to the NT box and watch for
the activity LED. If there is activity, the problem is not the Linux side
nor the NIC or cable. If there's no activity, type cat /dev/ioports, the
NIC should appear occupying an I/O address.
Regards,
Francisco
