Router Trouble



Alright.  After much deliberation and several changes of hardware (want your P90 back, Nate?), I've decided to actually try to set up a router.  Linux recognizes the two ne2k compatible PCI cards (A LinkSys and a NetGear) and enjoys assigning IP addresses to them.  For testing purposes I pluged eth1 into my home network and started ping-ing around after setting a couple of my (ugh) Windoze boxes to 192.168.0.* addies.  (Exact information:  My computer: 192.168.0.2 / Parents' : 192.168.0.3 / Router : 192.168.0.1 / Netmask for all: 255.255.255.0)  I cannot be pinged on the internal network, nor can I ping.  Granted that the two Windoze boxes cannot ping each other, either.  (sighs)  Anyways, I plugged the crossover cable from the cable modem (another sigh).  I restart (because I can), login as root and /sbin/ifconfig eth0 up.  Then a /sbin/dhcpcd eth0 and I wait...and wait...and wait...and then it dies.  Nothing, no messages, no eth0.  Is my computer stupid, or is the hub stupid, or...yeah?
