hi
     thanx ravi
      but  that didnt solve  the problem
the ifconfig|route only  gives details  like 
127.0.0.1  and  the port no of the ethernet card
it  does  not  say anything else about where the
error  maybe

FOR  THE  BENEFIT OF OTHERS:-
my problem is that i hav 2  computers which i want to
connect by a coaxial cable with ethernet cards and
the works..complete

i am having a  problem trying to configure the
network.---the cards  get detected on each machine
individually  but i cant ping the other computer
however  the  lights (green) on the ethernet card
just stay on for 1  second or so and then they stay
off
maybe  there is  a problem  there????
HELP!!!!!!



the  wierd  thing is  that the network does  get
setup in  windows-- maybe  due to windows nt's 
autodetection feature.

so i still get host unreachable when i try to ping the
2nd machine

i shall be looking at some manuals and  asking a few
people in college

it would  be helpful if someone out there also
suggested some  sites for troubleshooting
or  even some  books.

lastly-- are some cards meant  exclusively for unix
and some  for windows?????--  i kno this  sounds
dumb!!

bye
