I am not quite sure why I have issues with this machine periodically, but here goes.
I have a 3Com card. It used to work fine when I was at school (dhcp). I moved into an apartment with cable Internet and it is also dhcp. My other Debian box works fine and my Windows box works fine. I know I have an extra IP available to me through my ISP, since I can connect my Windows laptop to the hub that all of the computers share and it connects. Anyway, I wanted to setup the Debian box in question as a router (180MHz, so not good for gaming B-) and so I setup a second NIC, a "Gigafast Ethernet PCI LAN adapter" and then the box decides that it can't find the network. With either card. Well I removed the Gigafast card, and it still has issues. When I try to ifup eth0, it says: eth0: Setting Rx mode to 0 addresses. eth0: Setting Rx mode to 1 addresses. Then it stalls here for a while and then: eth0: Setting Rx mode to 0 addresses. eth0: Setting Rx mode to 1 addresses. Again it stalls, but then it says: Operation failed. and then I am at the prompt again. lsmod gives: 3c509 Size: 8576 Used by: 0 isa-pnp is also setup, with the following info: isa-pnp Size: 27816 Used by: 0 Not tainted: [3c509] Now I read something about a Red Hat system on Google that had similar issues, and the response was to remove isa-pnp, but when I try to it says it is busy. Any ideas? Thanks, Gianfranco -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
