Networking Problems

[Slobnak]

Hello http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/smile.gif

I'm attempting to network my two Linux boxes togather using a cross-over cable. With very little luck.

Firstly is it possible to network Linux this way ?

Secondly, I'm having some problems with my network cards (d-link de-528's) do I need any particular drivers or modules to use them ?

Cheers for any help.

Linux should be just fine w/ the crossover cable, assuming it was made right.

I have never used those nic's. can't help you a lot there. sorry.
