Dear all,
I'm trying to install Debian-1.1 via NFS, but I've got some serious
trouble with the ethernet connection. I'm using a WD8003 (selected the
module 'wd' during base installation), which seems to be found
correctly. 'ifconfig eth0' prints out the correct data. Now the
trouble begins:
A "ping 160.45.172.136" (my own address) works perfectly, but no other
address gives a response to ping.
After /etc/init.d/network did a "route add -net 160.45.172.0 netmask \
255.255.255.0 eth0" and "route add default gw 160.45.172.129 metric 0
eth0" (I had to modify these commands manually), a simple "route"
displays:
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use
Iface
localnet * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 2
eth0
127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 1
lo
default 160.45.172.129 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0
eth0
A strange thing is, that the command runs about one minute before it
displays the last line.
There is a WfW-PC on the same line (BNC), but even if I ping this
address, there is no response.
The connector has LEDs for diagnostic purposes. If I ping myself,
there is no activity. If I ping any other address, no activity is
reported. And the best: if I ping 160.45.172.127 (the broadcast
address), it works perfectly and activity is reported!
What could be the reason for such a strange behaviour?
And one remarkably fact I have: from time to time (maybe all 60-120
seconds), the send-LED is lit for a short moment. Why? There are the
following processes running: init, kflushd, kswappd, update, syslogd,
klogd, kerneld, inetd, bashes, getties.
Hope anyone can help me.
Rene
Lord, help me to keep my big mouth shut until I know what I am talking about...
