Ethernet irq

[<paul@dial.pipex.com>]

Thanks for the help everybody.
The driver for the card is installed in the kernel and appears to successfully detect the card:

"eth0: AT1700 found at 0x320, IRQ 5, address 0000f4aacbbd auto-sense interface.
at1700.c:v1.15 4/7/98  Donald Becker (becker@cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov)"

/proc/interrupts and ioports are as follows;

"FUDO2:/home/paul# cat /proc/interrupts 
 0:   25782398   timer
 1:      25004   keyboard

I can successfully ping myself (FUDO2,localhost and 10.0.0.1) and also my isp`s nameserver.

ifconfig and netstat -r are as follows;

However I still can`t ping out to the win95 box which I believe is correctly configured as 10.0.0.2 (it can certainly ping itself at that address)

For some while now I`ve been unable to use my floppy drive because of i/o errors, might this have some bearing on the irq situation? It`s possible that it may have gone wrong at the same time as the at1700 driver was installed.
