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)

NIC: CE
3.) name: geidiprime

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?
