Sorry I had already sent this to the list once but it
didn't seem to have made it through so here it is again.
The IP's are exactly the same in win then in Linux
When A pings B I get 100% packet loss, when B pings A I
also get 100% packet loss. when B is in win and it pings A
in linux I still get 100% packet loss.
I have no idea what the ARP is but I'll check the file.
Comp A has the Network card and and Awe64 as PnP cards.
Comp B has the Network card and an another Awe64 and a Us
Robotics 56 K fax modem as PnP cards.
I'll try changing the IP's should I try 192.168.0.X?
Oh yeah Sorry it doesn't say Network Unreachable any more
after the reinstall(wich I thought would make it work) I
just get 100% packet loss.
In windows the network is running TCP/IP.
Right Now I'm a bit straped for cash. So I can't really get
a the Hub.
Hope this helps.
