Very Computer

Who can help me??
I'm  new in working with linux and i try to get started a network with
one linux box and 2 win95.
My 3com 509B isa card is making problems. It is detected when I boot
linux and ifconfig shows it also. Route shows the eth0 route. But I
can't ping with the network, though I can do it if i run that (linux)box
with win95.

I tried to disable the pnp of the card, but doesn't helped anything.

If there is anybody who can help me, I would be very happy...

Assume your network card address is 10.1.1.1 and you are on a class C
network
so your netmask is 255.255.255.0 and network address is 10.1.1.0

Since you only have a local network(I assume) you will not need the
default route.

For the network route:
destination=3D10.1.1.0
netmask=3D255.255.255.0
Metric=3D1

For the adapter route:
destination=3D10.1.1.1
netmask=3D255.255.255.255
Metric=3D0

Also, make sure your other two machines are on the same network(network
address and
netmask the same as the linux box)

This is just a guess.  If you can send me some more info(what output
occurs when
you do a ping) I could more accurately debug the problem.

I have the same card and have not run into similar problems.
