Have you tried making the rj45 into a loopback to test your "connection" on
just the one card?  If it sends it then gets it straight back you know your
cable cross-over is ok.
You could always buy a mini 2 port hub, they go for around $75 to $100
Try the loopback and you'll soon know...

assistant: Yeah, this might be your problem.  From the NSEPro ...
To make a crossover cable you need
Pin 1 (RX+) on end 1 to Pin 3 (TX+) on end 2
Pin 2 (RX-) on end 1 to Pin 6 (TX-) on end 2
Pin 3 (TX+) on end 1 to Pin 1 (RX+) on end 2
Pin 6 (TX-) on end 1 to Pin 2 (RX-) on end 2
(Another words, reverse the wires for pins 1 and 3, and 2 and 6.)
Example for RJ45 Connector
End #1
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
End #2
3 6 1 4 5 2 7 8
BTW, this is what you do for Novell crossover cables.  I presume that's
the information you want. Hope this helps.

Have you got a bus mastering controller in an ISA slot (like an Adaptec

the lower 16 MBytes (you can check by looking at the detailed
information page for the adaptors given by the "System Information Tool"

Write your reply.

assistant: I've been attempting to install Warp Connect since I purchased it in January.
After reading the README file on the CDROM I decided to try reinstalling.
he
README said to insert the line:  basedev=reserve.sys /io:280,20 (with the 280
being the address of the NIC card) into the CONFIG.SYS on the installation
disk.  Then copy reserve.sys to installation disk #1.
I tried this, and it STILL failed.  This is about the 10th time I've tried
this.  I'm using generic NE2000 cards, but they work fine with Lantastic/2
nd
I've heard that others have used generic cards with no problems.
Connect's install will get to the point where it's ABOUT to ask me if I'd
ike
to install networking support and the install freezes.  I can't even install
Connect WITHOUT networking support.
If anyone has any advice I'd really like to hear it!
Thanks...

re-installing
I've found that an I/O address of 280 and an IRQ of 10 works great in any
networking environment with NE2000's, especially OS/2 and Netware.  Since the
NE2000 driver uses a larger memory block than most other NICs, it's real easy
to overlap a memory block being used by some other function (Selective
Install had problems with my NE2000 using I/O's in the 300h to 340h range and
printing had problems at an I/O of 360h).  Most Ethernet NICs use a 10h
memory block.  NE2000's typically use a 20h block (twice as large).
Hope that helps.

   Netware v4.1.  So he went ahead and loaded the OS/2 Warp Connect Netware
   requestor on that very same machine... Now his "Novell Server" is also
   a client and can access itself as such.  I don't know if this is
   documented anywhere as possible, and I've never heard of anyone else
   performing such a feat... but it deffinetly makes for converstion...

assistant: Howdy,
  I've got three computers here, two of which are running OS/2 Warp, and one
of which is running plain ol' DOS & Windows.  I'd like to set them up in a
Peer-to-Peer network, so that I can fully utilize my HD space, print to any
printer (each has a different type of printer) and cut down on duplicated
programs between the three PCs.
  I'm currently running LANtastic for OS/2 on the two OS/2 machines, and
LANtastic 6.00 on the DOS Machine.  It works nicely, but the OS/2 version of
LANtastic has some nasty Named Pipe bugs that are messing up Watcom's
debugger.  (The most important app I run on the two OS/2 machines).  I've
applied the latest FixPack (17) and LANtastic Patch Disk (10), and neither
has helped.
  I was just wondering if there are any other Peer-to-Peer systems that might
work well in my situation, OTHER than Warp Connect...  The most important
part is connecting the OS/2 systems to the Dos/Windows system.
Ciao for now,
- Richard

The network might not be the problem, but just to be sure, try to
remove the card and install Warp Connect WITHOUT any network stuff.
If the installation works, save a copy of config.sys, and try to
install the  network stuff. My experience shows that you need a lot
of things set right to get it to work. I hope Merlin will make
things easier.
There is also other version of the NE2000 that works better
according to what I read in some other messages. If the
installation works but not the network, do a search for NE2000 and
Lantastic in dejanews at http://www.dejanews.com/
Good luck
