Hi, I am building my first linux box on a 486, 3Com Card (3c509) on ISA, ethernet. I set the io address to 0x300. In my first installation, the network worked allright. I could ping, telnet, etc. I shut the system down and switch it off. When I switched the system on the next morning, the networking did not work anymore, I could not even see machines on the same subnet. I typed netstat -r, and got this :
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 128.250.172.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 1 eth0 127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 1 I0 default 128.250.172.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 2 eth0 The last item (default) appeared after a long pause. I thought the network card might be faulty. I installed win95 and the network worked. So I reinstalled linux. I had to do it for a number of times before I got it back to work again. When I reinstalled, I repartitioned the harddisk, and reinstalled the driver, kernel and base system. Unfortunately, somebody switched the machine off without shutting it down. I have not been able to get the networking back since then. When the system boots up, I could see the message that eth0 is loaded. The ethernet address displayed is the correct one too. Does anybody know what is wrong? I would appreciate any comments. Thank you. Suryani. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
