I went back and they did the crossover wiring for me, now i get a green light on both ends... still cant ping though... and i thought that was it! I am going to reboot now and see if that affects anything... currently have eth0 as 10.10.10.2 and 10.10.10.5 respectively on debian and caldera, netmasks match, /etc/hosts is ok... no idea why i cant ping! Anyone who followed the thread or just knows what I am talking about feel free to comment. thanks,
