PROBLEM:  I have installed a network interface card (NIC) into my machine.
          I am now having networking problems.  There are several common
          scenarios that you may run across:

            (1) The NIC is configured successfully but doesn't respond or
                gives errors during reboot;

            (2) Ping or telnet to other machines on the local network fails;

            (3) Node can only communicate with certain machines on the local
                network;

            (4) Networking locks up or has sporadic slowdowns.

PROBLEM:  I cannot ping other machines on my network but I can ping localhost
          and my own ip address. What can I do to test my NIC further?

PROBLEM:  After following the instructions in
          /usr/lib/mail/antispam/README.spam for configuring the antispam
          features in Sendmail, I get errors when trying to restart Sendmail,
          or the new features are non-functional.

          Specifically, I have uncommented the required rulesets in
          /usr/lib/sendmail.cf and have made corresponding configuration
          changes in /usr/lib/mail/antispam/*.  However, after restarting
          Sendmail, I get "unknown control line" errors.
