Re: 3c509 is being annoying SOLVED
High, thanks for all your help, it works now. The soundcard was the culprit, it shared the same io.

Re: 3c509 is being annoying
This just happened to a guy on our local LUG list. It was an I/O or interrupt port conflict. He just changed the setting by adding this line in /etc/lilo.conf: append="ether=IRQ,I/O" where IRQ and I/O are your settings. If you run: cat /proc/ioports cat /proc/interrupts You ought to be able to confirm this is the problem; then go from there.

Look at /proc/interrupts. - Look at the ifconfig stats and see if it has received/transmitted anything? Any errors? Any dropped packets? - Run tcpdump of other computers on the network and see if that shows anything strange. eg no packets at all, or only packets in one direction, bad/duplicate IP address, duplicate Ethernet address (just because it should not happen, don't assume it wont happen), or something else which is wrong. -- Brian May <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

If it is a 3c509 combo (ie: Twisted Pair/BNC) make sure it is set to the cable type you are using. It can be set via software. This will cause the above symptoms. If it's not a combo move on to next message. :-) Regards, T.J. (Terry) Carney. - * Selterra Communications [EMAIL PROTECTED] * -

As far as I know I have no firewall running I have had problems with this model of ethernet ... I can't remember now .. it's too late, but I think thar it's a problem with the irq that you asing to the ethernet and the irq the kenell waits for. but now I can't tell you the way to solve it

As far as I know I have no firewall running Sounds like routing to me... dunno what though, if you use a 2.2 kernel it should automagically make atleast one route, here is the most simple routing table I could think of: leen:~# route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric RefUse Iface 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 00 eth0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG0 00 eth0 What you need is, one route to the 'local network' something like: 192.168.1.0 for example or 192.168.0.0, also (if you want to connect to the outside world, a router/gateway to connect too: 'route add default gw 192.168.1.1' for example) Here is an example /etc/network/interfaces: # An example ethernet card setup: (broadcast and gateway are optional) # iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.0.42 network 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255 gateway 192.168.0.1 (taken from /usr/share/doc/netbase/examples/interfaces) This should set it up correctly. Also what could be the problem is that you have no/wrong nameservers configured in /etc/resolf.conf: nameserver 192.168.1.1 (just an example ofcourse) Because if you have that problem, then that would also be a reason you can't connect to the outside world (or inside even, if you use a namebased system). > and no special options in /etc/hosts.deny. hosts.deny, doesn't do anything for you personally, only for people connecting to your computer. Just some ideas, before I go to sleep.. Zz.
3c509 is being annoying
Hi, I try to get a 3c509 network card working, which has worked before on my system. After some research I found out that the card worked correctly under windoze, but I can not figure out why the card does not work under Linux. I have disabled pnp and the card insmods well. I can also give it an address with ifconfig and ping to the card, but I am unable to ping another host (and vice versa). As far as I know I have no firewall running and no special options in /etc/hosts.deny. What else can I try, hints? Thanks in advance, Sebastiaan
