You have received lots of good advice, but I am going to backtrack a bit and ask a very fundamental question. Did you remember to buy a 'Crossover' cable instead of the usual 'straight through' cables. ? The Ethernet interfaces on your computers are not intended to connect directly to each other. They will normally connect to a hub, switch, or router. If you want to connect computers together directly you need to get yourself a crossover cable. There is usually a little green light by the Ethernet socket that will light up when it is connected correctly. derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
