Hi
    I find that using a DHCPD server makes life a whole lot easier, install
this one one machine and get the other to automatically retrieve an IP
address, you can arrange a static if you so wish. If the second machine can
recieve an IP then hey presto!!
For further info on DHCP just send me a mail, I will gladly help!!!
Cheers
Johno

Also
if you have a windows machine on that network, this can also recieve an IP
from this server!

Cheers again

new to this too, but.... having the same problem...

could it be that the card is trying to talk through the RJ45 (like phone
cable) output thing and not the 10 Base T (coax) hole?

Please can anyone tell me if I'm on the right track and what to do about it?

thanks

dave
