Okay, now I have some info on my networking problem. I have one machine setup for dual boot; Win95 & Linux. Both Linux & Win95 have the EXACT same network settings. Win95 works like a champ, but Linux can't see the network. I can't ping anything except myself under Linux. Attached are two files; one for Linux & one for Win95. They show routing tables, ifconfig, & netstat/route info along with several pings. -Brian Shepard <<Linux.txt>> <<win95.txt>>
