Yes.

Thanks, I will. It's much appreciated.

>Hrmm, does 'ifconfig eth0' reveal anything useful?

I was going to say, "Not that I can tell.". Upon close inspection, 
everything seems to be working okay, except for the fact that RX packets and 
bytes are at 0. I did some monkeying around with the network card and the 
lights aren't doing what they were supposed to. I thought that was due to 
something else. Maybe I did a bad soldering job or soldered the wrong wires. 
I'll look into it a little more and get back to you. If it was the network 
card, I'm going to feel so bad for wasting so much of your time.

I just checked the pinging again, and this time I can't seem to ping the 
Rule computer from this one. It must be a hardware problem.

Hope this helps.


Sincerely, and with thanks,
Eugene T.S. Wong
