Very Computer

Using Linux 1.2.13, with a 3COM 509 card.  No TCPIP or networking
function seems to be working. I checked the rc.inet1 files, as well as
the /etc/hosts, and networks files.  These all seem to be correct. i can
not ping the device from another work-station.  I'm trying to figure out
what will tell me what the OS is seeing.  I ran netstat/-a/-r, but I'm
not sure what I'm looking for.  Trying to ping from the Linuxmachine
tells me the"Network is unreachable."

Any suggestions?

Also what /sbin/ifconfig reports.  Post to the newsgroup.

Are you sure that 3com509 is supported in 1.2.13?  That's a
two and a half year old Linux kernel... features, functions
and support have come a long way in those years ...
