You realize, I hope, that you cannot connect two Ethernet cards together directly with a standard cable? The usual method is to have a concentrator (sometimes called a "hub") in the middle, and then use a standard cable between the concentrator and each Ethernet card. In the special case where you are connecting exactly and only two machines, you can use a non-standard "crossover" cable to connect the two Ethernet cards directly without a concentrator. -- Mike - Subcription/unsubscription/info requests: send e-mail with "subscribe", "unsubscribe", or "info" on the first line of the message body to discuss-request at blu.org (Subject line is ignored).
