You're not using MiamiDX :)
Genesis isn't able to act as a gateway. Your packets are going out from
the PC, which is why the Tx LED flickers, but there's no route for the
responses to come back./ MiamiDx uses NAT (Network Address Translation)
to mark which packets are from which machine and send them out as if
they all came from the gateway. Then it uses this information to route
the return packets back to the correct computer.
