Ok... if installing linux on the "98 machine" works fine then it sounds like your network is properly wired... You installed TCP/IP on the 98 machine...did you configure it? WHat IP adresses and Subnet masks did you use? Do you have tcpdump on the linux machine? If you can't ,ake sense of the tcpdump output then just post it and im sure someone can tell you what it means. Just run tcpdump and start the 98 machine trying to ping. if you don't get ANY output form tcpdump then you can be 99.9% sure it is a hardware/wiring problem. If you see ICMP echo requests (pings) then you probably have a software misconfiguration on one or the other (check the subnet masks ;) ) just for a reference heres what I use for IPs IPs: 10.0.0.* subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 -Steve -- /* -- Stephen Carpenter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>------------ */ E-mail "Bumper Stickers": "A FREE America or a Drug-Free America: You can't have both!"
