The IP address for my dialup adapteris set to: "Obtain IP address automatically" The bindings are set to: "Client for MS networks" The IP addresses for my ethernet adapter are set to: IP address: 192.168.100.10 Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 The bindings are set to: "Client for MS networks" "File and printer sharing for MS networks" This morning I tried re-installing my network card (Xircom Creditcard Ethernet Adapter IIps) from scratch and reinstalling the drivers from the disk. I also ran the diagnostic test program on the Xircom disk and it showed no errors. No traffic, but no errors. The dongle on my Xircom card is showing a steady green light and a flashing yellow light. I can't ping debian from windows or windows from debian. What do you think I should check next? All suggestions gratefully received. Mark A.
