Yes there is a lot of SHerlock Holmes in it ;) OK, I've spent another 3 hours, even reinstalling the whole desktop pc. It was a fresh installation anyway. I bought a new cross-over cable. I borrowed 2 other NICs from my company, Once again: Desktop has: eth0 10.0.0.10 which goes through ppp0 to the dsl modem. eth1 192.168.0.1 Io 127.0.0.1 eth0 can ping the Internet, and ping both other devices eth1 can ping both other devices both ethx can ping themselves Notebook has: eth0 192.168.0.2 Io 127.0.0.1 eth0 can ping Io and ping itself But: Notebook cannot reach any other destination apart from own eth0 and own Io Desktop cannot reach neither notebook address. BTW: Firewall is absolutely off and security is set to "cracker's delight" on both machines. I'm not yet bothering about internet access sharing and forewarding and masquerading, I'm just trying to get both machines to see each other. Oh, it has nothing to do that the two screens are pointing in different directions, has it? ;-)) BTW: I had everything running with a 8.o installation with the same hardware! No more ideas.....
