Very Computer

Hi,

I followed the steps in the Caldera knowledgebase about "How to tell if
pcmcia is installed and working" - Ref. #991118-0006.

All these params are set, and seem to look OK, but I can't reach the
outside world yet (ie Internet). Netscape times out, and I can't ping
anywhere.

rpm -qa | grep pcmcia
---------------------
pcmcia-cs-3.1.8-1

lsmod
-----
3c589_cs 8392 1
i82365 29508 2
pcmcia_core 43872 0 [3c589_cs ds i82365]
etc....

etc/sysconfig/pcmcia file
-------------------------
PCMCIA="yes"
PCIC="i82365"
PCIC_OPTS=
CORE_OPTS=
CARDMGR_OPTS="-f"

On install, I inserted the Lizard boot disk, and after the Kernel
loaded, I then inserted the Modules disk to load the PCMCIA card, and
ran setup from the CD-ROM. I currently get a green light on the card.

My setup is:
------------
Toshiba Laptop - Tecra 8000
3com589ET network card (pcmcia)
Caldera eDesktop 2.4

Settings > COAS > NETWORK > Ethernet Interfaces
-----------------------------------------------
Network Device: eth0
PNP Configuration: Disabled
Interface Address: 10.792.10.140
Network mask: 255.255.240.0
Broadcast Address: 10.192.15.255
Default route: Enabled
Default gateway: 10.192.1.1
Init at boot time: Enabled

What am I overlooking, or have misconfigured?

Regards,

Scott

  I sure hope that you mistyped.  The I/F address cannot be
true.  10.792.x.x is blatantly illegal.
  If that is not the problem, are you trying to ping a remote
site by name or by number?  You should try numbers first
(10.192.1.1 is a good first try), so that you eliminate DNS
lookup problems.
  Good luck.

Yeah, that definately was a mis-type. It's 192 - not 792.

I have tried numbers, but that still doesn't work.

Thanks,

Scott

  Your next set of tests will have to decide whether you are getting
any action at all, or whether you are actually isolated.
  The program   ifconfig   will tell you a bunch of things about your
interface; a few lines down the way, it reports both Rx and Tx counter
stats.  So run this command once, so that you know the count of
received and transmitted packets, and then try to ping (by number)
the 10.192.1.1 (gateway) address.
  After that has tried for a while, ^C out of it, and rerun   ifconfig.
This will give you a new set of statistics, which will tell you whether
you have been unable to transmit, or whether you have transmitted
successfully, and are unable to receive.
  The sequence of steps that has to occur for a successful ping is:
    1.  Transmit ARP to get the hardware address of the target.
    2.  Receive ARP-reply supplying that address.
    3.  Send ICMP Echo packet to the target address.
    4.  Receive ICMP Echo Reply.
  You can watch this happen using tcpdump (another utility).  Read
the manpage before using this, so that you get some idea of how to
run it.
