Hi
What would cause my 2 machine network (connected by crossover cable) to
only send data one way down the cable. If I run tcpdump on both
interfaces and ping each other then I can see pc1 receiving arp requests
and replying , but pc2 only shows the outgoing arp request, it does not
see the response from pc1.
The hardware is all functioning correctly, I have tested 2 cables, I have
also purchased an additional network card and got this running but still
no luck. I reckon the interfaces are configured ok - no errors reported
at boot and ifconfig shows loopback and eth0 ok.
Pc1 is an old compaq prosignia 300 and pc2 is a no name amd duron with a
netgear fa311 pci nic. Therefore either the compaq is unable to send data
OR the duron is unable to receive. Both interfaces are on 192.168.10
network and there are no reports of network unreachable.
Any help or advice much appreciated.
