[Guillermo Solis]

i have two pc one running linux 1.1.47 and the other running linux 
1.2.13 both pc have a SMC WD8013 lan card. when i boot any pc, while 
boot it tell me that it has a WD8013 card on the correct address and 
irq, even both machines accept the ifconfig command and everything 
seem to be ok bu when i try to call the other pc i see when a packet 
goes out (by the light indicators on the lan card) but never establis 
comunication.
i test the card booting both pc on DOS and using the same address, 
nestmask and bradcast address and work fine even on linux it seem not 
no receive the arp address of the orther pc.

kernel compile problem

[Guillermo Solis]

i everybody.


I want to update my linux kernel to one which can run
ELF format. I get the linux kernel 2.0.18 i think is the newest
version??. when i try to compile i receive a message on the screen 
telling me gcc is to old. Then i get the new gcc version
and when i try ro run it a see a new message Can't run binary file
i think this is because the new gcc is on ELF format.
now my question is which gcc (what version ?) or what i have to do
for compile the new kernel.?


thanks
