Re: [Trinux-talk] networking trouble?

Well, you might want to check your 3com nic if it's a combo card. Even some
of the later pci ones had to be configured sometimes via a program
(3cxxxcfg.exe) to use the right port/irq/address. You'll need a DOS
bootdisk or Windows/xx for this.

Else:
Try something like ping 127.0.0.1, ping (hosts own ip) to check if the
tcp/ip stack is healthy so far. Look at routing tables, different netmasks,
compare ifconfig output. Get a friend with a networked and working third
machine to find out which machine fails.
