Re: Debian not talking to network
Robert:
ping the debian box's IP address from the debian box to verify that
the Ethernet interface is working.
If it is, look at routing: "netstat -r". You should have a static route
for the local network and a default route to the router.
If it is not, use "ifconfig", to see whether the interface has been
configured, is up, etc. Post the results from any inspection you make.
You're certain that you've compiled support for your NIC into the kernel,
are loading the appropriate kernel modules correctly, etc., right?
If you haven't already, read the NET-3-HOWTO
(http://metalab.unc.edu/LDP/HOWTO/NET-3-HOWTO.html).
It contains everything you ever wanted to know about Linux networking.

I'm setting up a network at home and have gotten the router setup and
given the IP addresses to their machines, but my debian box won't talk to
the network. Oddly enough, the windows box will, so I know the router is
setup correctly. In order to do that though, I had to change the frame
type from auto to Ethernet 802.2. I can't get my linux box to ping the
router, nor get it to send out any packets that I can see. Does anyone
have any ideas of things to try to get my debian box talking to the rest
of the network? Any help would be appreciated.
