Three boxes:

1.)     name:           arrakis
        os:             dual-boot FC4 and win2k
        mainboard:      k7som+ motherboard
        hard drive:     30 gig
        NIC:            SiS

2.)     name:           caladan
        os:             tomsrtbt
        hard drive:     none (failed)
        model:          IBM 300 GL desktop
        NIC:            CE

3.)     name:           geidiprime
        os:             win2k
        hard drive:     1 gig
        model:          IBM 300 GL desktop
        NIC:            D-Link
        NIC:            3com


arrakis<------>switch<----->caladan
Arrakis can ping caladan when their NIC's are connected with RJ45 Cat 5e
cable across a switch, as in the above configuration.  (see terminal output.)


What I'm going for:
gateway<----->hub<------>box1, box2

Now I just need to shuffle some NIC's and or hard drives between caladan and
geidi prime.  I'm worried that I broke geidiprime, though, so I'm hesitant
to do this.  As near as I can tell I did it correctly,
<http://www.lancs.ac.uk/users/iss/network/instructions/win2k.html#netcard>,
but it's possible that I broke something :(

Is there something I can do to diagnose the situation *without* opening a
case?
