Yes, the error count does increase after I ping 192.168.100.3 from the
Linux box. Here's the output:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:60:08:8F:CA:9C

Does this indicate that the hardware of the card is actually working,
but the software is not configured right?
Also, following Ben Donahue's kind suggestion I tried:
PING 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1): 56 data bytes
ping: sendto: Network is unreachable
ping: wrote 192.168.1.1 64 chars, ret=-1
ping: sendto: Network is unreachable
Can someone help me to interpret this output?
Thanks for your help - all suggestions gratefully received.
- mark
