Hi, I am a 1st time Debian user. I installed slink on a machine successfully but I have problems setting up my home network. I have a 3com ISA 3C509 card. When I try to ping a machine on my network, ping just sits there with no output (except when I ping the Debian machine itself). When I stop it, I am told that all packets were lost.
lsmod shows that the 3c509 module is loaded. Output of 3c5x9 -f: 3c5x9 found at 0x300 Model number 3c509 version 8, base I/O 0x300, IRQ 10, 10baseT port. Primary physical address is 00:60:08:4d:c2:9a Alternate physical address is 00:60:08:4d:c2:9a Output of ifconfig: ethO Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:60:08:4D:C2:9A inet addr:192.168.0.3 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BORADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:1 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:364 errors:0 dropped:0 overrruns:0 carrier:0 Collisions:0 Interrupt:10 Base address:0x300 Output of route: localnet * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 4 eth0 127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 8 lo cat /etc/hosts: 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.0.1 bele_plaece.cottages bele_plaece # this is a mdk7.2 machine 192.168.0.2 tchambe.cottages tchambe # this is a Win95 machine 192.168.0.3 sierveu.cottage sierveu # this is the debian machine Thanks for any help! -- Lorint HENDSCHEL
