RE: My network stoped working, why?

Hi Stan:

Try to determine the status of you network interface via "ifconfig". If it is up and running,
ping that card. If thats OK, check the physical connections. Perhaps you were moving
things around and something is loose.

	I have rebuilt the kernel, both with and without loadable modules. When I
	build it with modules I get an error about not finding a file in
	/lib/modules-2.0.27/net. Building it without module sleminates this
	problem. However on boot up I always get some messages about SIO*
	loading? failed because of no such device. I have tried doing a MAKEDEV
	eth0, but this fails also.

	I had also recently upgraded from the latest I-connect CD.

	I out of ideas here. Can someone suggest what to check next please?

	Thanks.
