Output of ifconfig is ok. Are you connecting the two together directly with a patch cord or might there be a switch also? If connected directly, the patch cord must be a crossover type. Pins 1-3 and 2-6 are swapped instead of being wired straight through. It's analogous to a null modem cable. A switch does this automatically. The TX (transmit) of one must be connected to the RX (receive) of the other. -- Jim Barnes -- Certainly the game is rigged.
