I've tried everything I could find, and still have not been able to
get a working network. I've spent the last few days trying suggestions
from this and other newgroups, documentation, etc., all to no avail.
First, some background:
1) The gateway, nameserver, netmask, etc., work with Win95 running on
the same box
2) I get "No route to host" using telnet, etc.
3) I get errors shown in the output of 'ifconfig'
4) Configuration seems to be correct (from what I can tell). Details
follow.
I don't know what else to do. Hopefully it is something simple, but
given the history of this box I'm guessing some subtle hardware problem
is preventing this from working.
In any case, thanks for any assistance.
Cheers,
Tom McConnell
