First of all, I just got the connection working. Thanks to all. Using the correct NIC driver did the trick, though note that I did try two different NICs earlier this week with negative results. To sum up: isapnp 3c509 no longer works (although the driver reports no errors), pci NDC card with tulip driver similarly, 3c905b works.
As for your questions, I would like to answer them but don't know how. My /etc/network/interfaces does have a "gateway" entry in the eth0 section, it is similar to my ip address but the last number is different. -chris On Wed, 30 Aug 2000, Paul T.McNally wrote: > Can you ping the cable modem?
