It's OK - here you go: (I'll leave my machine open for a while ;-) )cards
are (both) 3c905B-Tx
Kernel=2.2.9-19mdk
Ping to 209.115.168.27 is OK, but I've been told that a ping of the own IP address
doesn't even touch the card???
209.115.168.25 is as dead as can be (and everything else I should be able to reach
on our little 209.115.168.xx sub-network)
I can ping the internal network 192.168.42.xx
And as I told before:
the whole configuration works with an older RedHat 5.1 - Linux 2.0.35
(I tell you this *ONLY* for the sake of confirming that the hardware runs
perfectly - I do want to change to the newer kernel - and Mandrake - I liked very
much what I saw until now)
Thanks,
Herman
