Hello Jed, Apparently, that was the problem. The two started talking once I used a cross over.

That was my first thought also on reading the original post. The 4501 appears to be MDI only and likely the Linux box is as well while the router is either auto MDI or MDI-X. That would be consistent with the described symptoms, in that both work with the router and not with each other. Try an Ethernet crossover cable between the 4501 and Linux box or a hub and straight cables. -Jed _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech ____________________________________________________________________________________ You rock.
