Very Computer

i even put in a sun quad fast ethernet card (drivers are there and the
system sees it, plus hostname.qfe0 and hosts file are proper) to see if
i could get on the network thru the qfe0 interface.same problem! one
thing that i did notice is that with the qfe0 interface the link green
light comes on whereas with the hme0 inteface it was off at the hub
connection. could it be that the hme0 interface on the motherboard is
partially impaired? what puzzles me is why there is no connectivity with
even qfe0.

running out of ideas...any suggestions most appreciated?

thanks in advance,
_bill

     and look at the packets. If you see any at all!
1. If you dont see any packets at all then, try this:
   # ifconfig -a up

2.If you see the Ip addresses within your Subnet and nothing else over
a period of time, then it is a default router problem, which can be
confirmed with a:
  #ping <ipaddress-outside-subnet> should return a Destination
unreachable or gateway error. Cant remember it..damn,
3.If you see pakets from other subnets then it may be your DNS problem.
  you can confirm that by doing a
  #ping 216.32.74.50
   ( www.yahoo.com )
4. At this level, you consider doing a :
  #traceroute 216.32.74.50
  and see where the packets are getting terminated.
5. Here consult your hardware support.

You can post here the errors or outputs of 1-4 steps, that will help us.

Hope this helps.
