dmsg conatins lines like (they seem to be generated after each unsuccessful ping): eth0: Tx hung, 16 vs. 0. The route table is the same on both computers in the network: Destination Gateway Denmask Flags Metric Ref Use IFace 192.168.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 DNS is not the problem since pinging by number doesn't work. The contents of my hosts file are: 127.0.0.1 ibm550.klee ibm550 localhost 192.168.0.1 amd300.klee amd300 192.168.0.2 amd300w95.klee amd300w95 192.168.0.3 p90.klee p90 192.168.0.4 p90w95.klee p90w95 192.168.0.5 ibm550.klee ibm550 192.168.0.6 ibm550w2k.klee ibm550w2k 192.168.0.7 mh233.klee mh233 192.168.0.8 mh233w95.klee mh233w95 192.168.0.9 liteline266.klee liteline266 192.168.0.10 liteline266w95.klee liteline266w95 BTW, connecting to mh233 and liteline266 via PLIP works. However, I haven't tested whether I can access amd300 (that's the machine I am trying to ping) via PLIP. Felix
