problem with 3Com 3509B: can send but can;t receive

[Nico De Ranter <nico@sonycom.com>]

Hi,

I'm trying to install Debian on a Compaq Deskpro XL 566.
Since I couldn't get the onboard Ethernet board to work (I found
the HOW-TO but didn't succeed) I decided to plugin a 3Com 3C509B
10Base-T board which I have lying around.  I reinstalled Debian
(since I had some other trouble also) and included the 3C509B.
It gets loaded and configured at login just fine.  My IP-address
is ok, the board is up.  When I ping another machine on the same
network I see arp-packets arriving at the other machine (tcpdump)
and my second also sends answers back.  However nothing arrives
on my Deskpro.  Also when I do tcpdump on my Deskpro nothing is
going over the network so apparently I can send packets but cannot
receive antyhing.

Any ideas on how to solve this?
