by Hello all,
I'm having problems with a "3com Etherlink III ISA (3c509/3c509b) card under
redhat linux (2.2.5-15).
I am running this on a Dell Dimension XPS w/Pentium II.
The card seems to be detected at boot (dmesg output attached) and shows with
the correct IRQ
and IO port addrs. These are the same settings I am using under Win98 on
the same machine (dual
boot linux/win98). I never told linux the IRQ and IO port, it detected
them. When running on Win98
(with the same ip address&netmask) I can ping to another
machine, and it can successfully ping back. When I boot under linux,
however, the other
machine (running win98) cannot ping the linux box, and the linux box cannot
ping the other machine.
I can ping localhost and 47.24.192.1 successfully from the linux box, but
nothing else.
ifconfig shows my attempts to ping from the machine, but I never see any
evidence of any packets
received - even though I try pinging from another machine on the network.
I've checked the HOWTOs, but am having no luck. Can anyone offer
suggestions? I've attached output
of dmesg, ifconfig, route, and lsmod and everything APPEARS ok, but doesn't
work. Is there something
else I can try??
PLEASE HELP!
