Ping problems with Linksys LNE100Tx Cards

Hi!!!

Atlast i am giving up.!!

I run debian woody with default shipped in 2.4.20-bf24 kernel. I have a
Linksys LNE100TX network card. I use a tulip( tulip.c:v0.97 ) module for
it. I have connected this box ( 192.168.0.1 ) to an m$ windows xp system.
That system has the ip address 192.168.0.2 .

Now when i give the command

 # ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0

I am able to ping my system using

 # ping 192.168.0.1

When i try to ping the xp box ( 192.168.0.2 ), it times out after a while,
reporting 100% packet loss. but when i do the same from my M$ xp os with
the same ip as i had in debian ( 192.168.0.1 ), it pings and network is
really up.

I tried compiling a new kernel(2.4.21) with the tulip driver built into
it. It doesn't help too.

I also tried loading the module using various options in 2.4.20-bf kernel.
It didnt work either.

Am I missing something? Have anyone configured Linksys cards? I think
there should be an error at lower protocols, as even the ping doesnt work.

Btw, I am using a 10mbps card and my friend is using a 10/100mbps one, in
a peer to peer connection using cross over cables.

any help will be highly appreciated :)

regards,
R Karthick
