I went back and they did the crossover wiring for me, now i get a green
light on both ends... still cant ping though... and i thought that was
it! I am going to reboot now and see if that affects anything...
currently have eth0 as 10.10.10.2 and 10.10.10.5 respectively on debian
and caldera, netmasks match, /etc/hosts is ok... no idea why i cant
ping! Anyone who followed the thread or just knows what I am talking
about feel free to comment.
thanks,
