Dear people out there who can help me.

I have 2 PCs using the ASUS motherboard - A7N8X Deluxe.
And I've been trying to connect them together to share
the internet. There are 2 onboard NIC:
1> nVida nForce MCP Networking Controller
2> 3COM 3C920B-EMB Intergrated Fast Ethernet Controller

I'm using the nVida NIC to connect to the broadband and
I'm trying to use the other to connect to my LAN usig a
crossover cable.

Problem is, I can't seem to get the 3COM NIC working for
some reason. The best I've done so far is I managed to
ping one-way from my PC to the other machine. However, I
somehow messed it up and now the 3COM NIC is not even
working (It doesn't even recongize any connect when a
cable is plugged in).

So, I wonder if there is anything I could do. And I also
would like to know what I have done wrong.

Thank you so very much if anyone can help.
Andy
