I've done some more tests since that post. If I ping from the 0.2
machine to the whole network (192.168.0.255), I can see the packets
coming in on the 0.1 machine, BUT if I reverse the process I get
nothing. Sounds like my 0.1 machine receives packets but doesn't send
them back. I'm using a BNC cable with 2 'tee's' with caps on each end.
Should I do away with the 'tees' just plug them in directly to solve my
problem?
