I lack the "family logon" and the file sharing; the former I've never
seen before and the latter I'll enable when ping works.
My ethernet card is detected as
3com EtherLink III ISA (3c509b-TPO) in PnP mode
There's also some "Infrared PnP Serial Port (*PNP0510)" that is
apparently part of the motherboard; I can't hardware disable it and if
I delete it it reinstalls itself. It has a "Fast Infrared Protocol".

Mine has an unchecked "logon to Windows NT domain" box and the radio
button for "Network Logon Options" is set to "Logon and restore
network connections." This is probably what's sending those netbios
requests on bootup.

I have two "real mode (16 bit)" drivers, one which is NDIS (using it
doesn't change anything that I can tell), and one which is ODI, which
I wasn't able to use because the system asked me for a Novell disk I
don't have.

Similar.

My only property is "Maximum Transmits", which is set to "Not
Present." I can make it an arbitrary integer. Don't know what it does.

Same, but 10.0.0.3. (255.255.255.0 is a subnet of the broader
255.0.0.0 permitted on the 10... private networks).

Same.

10.0.0.2 (bravo)

Host: gow
Domain: study
DNS Server: 10.0.0.2, which will run bind

Haven't installed the second one yet; it wouldn't work without TCP/IP.

For the record, I have:
Host: gow
Workgroup: WORKGROUP
Description: <blank>
Changing this hostname to "dude" (the name of the cat who says "gow")
broke "ping gow", but not "ping 10.0.0.3", and didn't fix "ping
10.0.0.1", which still says "Request timed out."
Adding the three local machines to c:\windows\hosts restored "ping
gow" and made "ping peon" fail with "Request timed out" rather than
"Unknown host peon."

I'd really like to see a tcpdump from your (or any working) network;
I'm still curious about that "icmp router solicitation", which, after
a 15-second power outage that deleted my previous fscking response,
resolves to
08:46:57.211735 gow.study > ALL-ROUTERS.MCAST.NET: icmp: router solicitation
Using tcpdump -n, it's the same 224.0.0.2 that I was wondering about
earlier.

Very much, thank you. I have to go to work now, but I'll play with
this again tomorrow.
