Re: [newbie] Linksys LNE 100tx problems w/ mdk7
I tried setting up a Linksys LNE100TX NIC on my HP / MDK7 / Win98 machine. I [...] My buddy said to buy a supported NIC like a 3COM. Maybe he's right, but the Linksys should work... right? I have a Linksys LNE100TX in a Mandrake 7.0-2 box that I use as a samba server on our internal network. Frankly I had no trouble configuring it. It just worked automatically after the install. Here's the card settings from my machine. Let me know if you want anything else. (But I'm not the network guru here.) Here's "cat /proc/pci" (Nothing special here. It's about halfway down.)

Mdk7 has the tulip driver already compiled and everything I tried seems okay. The card is set as active in the etherconfig and routes are correct in the route tables. I have checked the scripts and they all have the required variables. I guess the question is how to get the broadcast up or what else could be wrong. My buddy said to buy a supported NIC like a 3COM.

did you set it up as a "tulip" driver? [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I tried setting up a Linksys LNE100TX NIC on my HP / MDK7 / Win98 machine.
