hello wolfgang! I've been reading your posts about your network for a few days...
great problem! that is one of these that we write on the notepad to never forget what we did :-) let's go... since arp -a gives nothing, then you have no connection, but each piece in your setup (cross-cable, notebook's nic, desktop's nic) works ok when used with the adsl (your Internet connection is trough an adsl, as I remember) or when tested with other computer I have just one opinion: by means of some power of darkness, when you connect both nics trough the cross-cable you are are shutting the electrical signals to a very low level, that isn't enough to keep the network connection. this don't happen with the adsl box... and probably wouldn't happen with a switch or a hub... why this happen? probably the notebook's nic is of poor quality... or you just run out of luck :-) orlando Wolfgang Bornath wrote: > > Am Dienstag, 27.
