I try to configure RedHat 6.0 with kernel 2.2.5-15.
With the correct netmask situation is the same. Now I have at the first host
(mars):
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:40:95:00:00:10
inet addr:192.168.2.1 Bcast:192.168.2.15 Mask:255.255.255.240

I've observed network with "tcpdump -i eth0"

18:06:40.003912 arp who-has star.accom.ru tell mars.accom.ru
100% packet loss while ping.
Both hosts are connected via bnc-connector with the cable. They reside one
near another. Local network 192.168.2.0 works OK during long period of time
with nearly 10 hosts.
Best regards,
Irina
