It's just wired differently. I don't think you have two such connectors on your board. This looks as though your wire is just connected backwards, i.e., you have a reversed patch-cord. Are you connected to a Hub? Does the LED on the hub show that the wire is connected properly an does the LED on/near the connector on your PC show that its connected correctly also? If you really do have to such connectors, just use eth1 instead of eth0, i.e., `ifconfig eth1 ip-address ...` Cheers, Dick Johnson Penguin : Linux version 2.4.18 on an i686 machine (797.90 BogoMips).
