First of all i'd like to apologise for the late reply (real life stuff and all
that), so here's what i got:

Yea, actually i'm surprised that something did in fact come up...

It's a brand new cable, and the link lights on both NIC's are on

Now what i found strange about the ifconfig results is the Tx/Rx packets... I
guess this means that the NIC's on both machines are set up correctly and the
cable works (correct me if i'm wrong).
