Network doesn't work
AAAHHHHH!!!
Well I made it back from Frye's and bought a Netgear Fast
Ethernet NIC, a Netgear Fast Ethernet Hub, and I'm still
using the Linksys pcmcia fast ethernet NIC for my laptop.
I recompiled my desktop kernel to recognize the Tulip module
for the new NIC. It was detected, etc. I ifconfiged (I
think correctly because no errors). Now when I telnet from
my laptop to my desktop, I get 100% packet loss. When I
switch the configuration back to the way it was it ranges
from between 88% and 97% packet loss.
Do I go buy new cables now? Is there a way to fix this.
Thanks everyone. Happy Valentine's Day.
