Hello,
thank you for all your suggestions.
This is the extra information you asked for.
Thank you in advance to whoever will be so patient to browse
through itm..
Refer to my original posting for a description of the
problem, or ask me to mail it again.
To begin with, I do have a (new) crossover ethernet cable.
However, this doesn't exclude cable problem, or other hardware problem
(see below).
Second, I **am** doing something bad/stupid to the PCMCIA
configuration, but can't figure out what's missing ( just look at
lsmod output).
Third, these are the outputs you requested of route, netstat, ifconfig
and lsmod on both machines.
Thanks,
Marco
