so you used a crossover from your cable modem to the linux machine?

now using a regular cable on eth1

it is late and i am turning in soon
if both client machines were set up with the same ip address you might see
this behavior.
i would get a good conection going between two machines and rotate every
cable into it to check them all.
get a good connection between 2 machines using the hub and test every port
on the hub.
some hubs share the last port with the uplink port.
i dont think this would matter, but the netmask on the clients is
255.255.255.0
good luck
night,
randy
