Hi, My debian pc with on-board 82559 intel ethernet board stopped talking. I can ping localhost, but the windows pc sees the cable from it as 'dead'. I checked all relevant files and ifconfig and netstat, and it was all normal, except for a few packet over-runs.
Any way, i put in another pci card which was detected as realtek 8139B, and i changed all the relevant files from eth0 to eth1, and checked with ifconfig and netstat and ping localhost. (Hint: i think /etc/network/interfaces is translated to /etc/init.d/network) Anyway the other windows pc sees the link as 'alive', but i can't get any packets. Pinging from the debian pc doesn't work either (ping stalls). What else can i check? (i've checked the cable). Is there a way to disable the mainboard ethernet hardware? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
