not silly at all... the layer one problems are probably the most common.

i did check, believe it or not, the first time i was getting frustrated
the cable was going from the nic on the FreeBSD box to the nic on my XP
box and i was getting really frustrated that the switch wasn't lighting
up. :)

however, i've resolved all layer 1 issues.  the cable has been tested for
both nics... the status changes from no carrier to active.  so i know
which nic is which.

however, now i'm getting another issue.  pcn1 is not taking it's ip
address.  it seems that only pcn0 has an ip address.

but i still can't ping anything outside of the machine itself. :/
