Yes, Compaq is quite skilled in the "stupid" department.

I could ping one computer from the other over my LAN. The problem seems to have rested in the infinite stupidity of whoever built this Compaq... because I pulled one pci card out, moved my nic to the now empty pci slot, and suddenly it has an IRQ. I don't know if this is a PnP thing, or if the slot I originally had the nic in was broken, all I know is I seem to have a working nic that can ping, so I'm now reay to learn how to use this iptables thing... Thank you everyone for your patience :) >>
