Re: Ethernet card problems
hi manuel
i had similar problems ..the solution
1. check the ethernet cable is connected properly
(i have this problem 80% of the time !!)
2. make sure ..especially in the case of an ISA card, that u r using the correct
IRQ and IO address... use the DOS Utility of the card to check this... as on
linux... the card driver sometimes gets installed even if the irq is specified
wrongly
3. if the card is a combo BNC + UTP, in some cases, the driver is not able to
switch on the correct interface.. so this may be fixed using the Ethernet card
DOS utility to specify the same

>> eth0: TDR reports transceiver problem
from this .. the problem may probably be option 2 above... check it out !
let me know how it works out..
