Shameless plug :-) You can use my linkloop(1) to test connectivity at the MAC address level (even without IP configured, only a driver loaded). Grab it at (stupid URL I know): http://users.actcom.co.il/~oron/oron/docs/linkloop-0.0.1.tar.gz After the normal ./configure && make && make install run the linkloop_reply server on one host (this functionality isn't yet avaiable in the Linux kernel where it should be). and than on the other host simply: linkloop <peer_mac_address> If it passes, than you know the hardware on both sides is OK and connected. Let me know how it work for you. -- Oron Peled Voice/Fax: +972-4-8228492 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.actcom.co.il/~oron "Software is like Entropy: it's hard to grasp, weighs nothing and obeys the Second Law of Thermodynamics, i.e. it always increases" -- Norman Augustine ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
