It was suggested that I try changing netmask to 255.255.255.0. Nothing changed.
DEVICE=eth0 ONBOOT=yes BOOTPROTO=static IPADDR= 66.134.88.36 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 GATEWAY= 66.134.88.33 I then tried /sbin/ifconfig and got the following: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:E0:01:04:F7:AB inet adr:66.134.88.36 Bcast:66.134.88.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:10 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:10 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 Interrupt:5 Base address:0xe400 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask 255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:11 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:11 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:10 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 Here is /sbin/route: Kernal IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 66.134.88.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo default 66.134.88.33 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 There is no firewall. thanks in advance for any help Linda on 2/27/02 6:40 PM, Devon at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > On Wednesday 27 February 2002 07:09 pm, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: >> Is there any software out there that I can use to test to see whether >> or not my ethernet card is actually working?
