As I just use a cross cable to link up the two machines (192.168.7.15 & 14), 
there is no 192.168.7.1.  On the other hand, I installed the card in Windows 
2000 Professional and it works fine (i.e they can ping each other).  The 
following is the output ot "netstat -rn" in Win2000 Pro:

C:\>netstat -rn

 None

Therefore, I wonder it is the driver module problem rather than config  
problem.  Is there any new driver for this card? Thanks.
