usb to 10/100mbps fast ethernet adapter has a problem
 

hi all,
i m using Trendnet TU2-ET100(it use asix 88772 chip) usb to ethernet adapter over my Dell studio laptop and i use RHEL5. The problem is that the system detects its driver and also setup ip with setup utility, after that system does ping by itseself successfully, but wen i try to ping my system with server through stright cable then it can't able to ping. I checked the /etc/sysconfig/network-script/ifcfg-eth0 file, everything is right with this...Plz tell me how can i fix this problem.

Do a ip addr on the commandline. This will give you the actuall used settings. The file you mention /etc/.../ifcfg-eth0 for sure is the configuration file but who knows what happens later.
ip link will show you available interfaces.

Also not very common these days try a cross-over cable. cross-over cable should normaly be used when connecting two machines directly. straight ones normaly go with intermediate devices (like a switch)
