Apologies if this is answered elsewhere - our (MS) mailserver has been down,
I just got 200+ mails to wade thru'.
First - basically your system says "can't see the network". Try "ifconfig" -
this wil tell you which netwok devices are active. Is the 3c509 supported in
your kernel - yu may need to recompile to activate it.
Second - are you using 1-base2 (co-ax) or 10baseT (utp/RJ45) ? Co-ax must be
terminated each end, connection to the cards via a T-piece; 10baseT must
either be connected via a hub (straight-thru cables) or back-to-back
(cross-over cable). Obviously, the last option will only allow two pcs to be
connected back-to-back (unless you have two cards per pc).
Try "ping 127.0.0.1" which will test if network loopback is ok.
