Having nothing but problems trying to network 2 linux boxes together.
The gateway box has a 3Com 3c509 which loads up perfectly using the
3c509 driver. The problem box has a Linksys Lite-On chipset card which
loads up with the tulip driver. However as the following paste from
ifconfig shows, there is a problem somewhere:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:A0:CC:36:DD:1D
inet addr:192.168.0.3 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:830 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:312 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:624
collisions:0 txqueuelen:100
Interrupt:11 Base address:0xe000
Note the egregious number of errors. I think it all stems from the
txqueuelen of 100, IOW, the card may not be throttling down properly to
match the rest of the network. I would like to throttle it down manually
but do not know if this can be done with the tulip driver. Perhaps a
recompile with the right changes? Anybody run into anything like this
before?
And just for the record, here is my routing table on the problem box:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use
Iface
192.168.0.3 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0

lo

eth0
The gateway is the other box. The machines cannot ping each other.
