running windows first then exiting to ms-dos mode then
running loadlin to boot linux sometimes conflict with
my drivers esp. ethernet cards... i fixed this by running
lilo and booting directly to linux... the problem went away.
your prob. regarding connection to host lost reminded me of
the same error mesg. i once got after booting linux via loadlin...
if not... probably your eth0 is in need of repair? try other
nic's and see what happens. good luck!

I tried to use telnet on the linux box to connect to itself and this is also not working. Does that narrow down the problem ???
Thanks for the help so far.
