Ray, THANKS for your help,

Yes, sorry

these show the right values for both cards.

I have the Bering box setup w/ a crossover cable to another computer running
windows98, and I try and ping from one to the other, neither works.

Its immediately says the IP is unreachable.

Yes.

Nope.

The computer connected to Bering can't get an IP from dhcpd.

Forgot to load dhcpd in the syslinux.cfg file. I tried again with dhcpd
loaded and shorewall not loaded, still same problem.

I'm truly stumped, seems the ethernet cards are working, TCP/IP is working,
I know the cable is good, and tried using a static ip on the machine
connected to Bering. Can't get bering to communicate with the other machine,
or vice versa. Can anyone tell me a next step?

TIA
Chris
