Ethernet config

[Lorint Hendschel <LorintHendschel@skynet.be>]

Hi,

I am a 1st time Debian user.  I installed slink on a machine successfully but I
have problems setting up my home network.  I have a 3com ISA 3C509 card.  When
I try to ping a machine on my network, ping just sits there with no output
(except when I ping the Debian machine itself).  When I stop it, I am told that
all packets were lost.

lsmod shows that the 3c509 module is loaded.

Output of 3c5x9 -f:
3c5x9 found at 0x300
Model number 3c509 version 8, base I/O 0x300, IRQ 10, 10baseT port.
Primary physical address is 00:60:08:4d:c2:9a
Alternate physical address is 00:60:08:4d:c2:9a

Output of ifconfig:

Thanks for any help!
