Would a PLIP interface be more appropriate. From your wording it sounds like you are just connecting these two machines via the ethernet cards without an intervening hub. If this is the case you MUST use a null ethernet cable. A null cable swaps the transmit receive pairs between the two cards. This is a function normally handled by the hub. Hope this helps -Andrew
