ok I have one annoying problem. I set up a LAN between my desktop (p3 800 win2k) and laptop (thinkpad760ed, 133 w95). in the desktop i have set up a realtek 8139 fast ethernet nic, while the laptop has a smc 8022 10mbps nic. there is no hub, i use a crossover cable. when the laptop was running win98se, everything worked fine, but now i can get no communication betweeen the 2 computers. the LINK leds are lit on both of them, the ACT leds show some form of communication (or perhaps attempts to communicate). win2k show a lot of sent packets and no received packets.
ip for destktop is 192.168.0.1, for laptop is 192.168.0.2
workgroup is the same, computer names different.
ping / tracert won't work on network, work fine w/ 127.0.0.1.
smc 8022 self test program says it's ok usually, sometimes it fails external loopbak.

i don't understand where the problem is. help would be appreciated.
