I'm playing around with an old 386 and having strange network problems

machine1 386 with tomsrtbt disk
machine2 pIII RH7.3 (no firewall)

both machines can ping each other

ifconfig output of both looks good

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:50:DA:35:C2:40
          inet addr:192.168.0.2  Bcast:192.168.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST NOTRAILERS RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:1148 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:1190 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:2
          collisions:3 txqueuelen:100
          RX bytes:558907 (545.8 Kb)  TX bytes:133636 (130.5 Kb)
          Interrupt:11 Base address:0x1000

route looks good

Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
192.168.0.0     *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth0
127.0.0.0       *               255.0.0.0       U     0      0        0 lo
default         gw              0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth0

(other machine show similar results except that no error or collisions shown 
rx bytes 4962 tx bytes 3307)

if I try and use wget to get a file from machine2 onto machine1 the command 
hangs and machine2 shows from netstat
Active Internet connections (w/o servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign Address         State
tcp        0      0 sean:http               192.168.0.15:1027       SYN_RECV

so the connection starts but doesn't complete

any help much appreciated
