Hmm, it appears to me that you are not using a cross-over cable when connecting the two boxes together, indicated by your comment "i dont get a green light on the cards". A standard cable as used to connect to the dsl modem is a straight-thru cable. Host-to_host requires the crossover. Invest in an ethernet hub to connect everything together, it's more fun that way. jc -- Jeff Coppock Systems Engineer Diggin' Debian Admin and User
