problems with eth0 set-up
Hi
I'm a bit puzzled here. I have a new box here that I am installing Debian
on. I'm going to put Woody on it but have a Potato disc that I am using to
set up a bare bones system and once I get onto the network I will
dist-upgrade to Woody.
However, I am using a Netgear FA310TX PCI card of the same type that is
installed in my existing Woody box with no problems. The driver for this is
Tulip. I set this up during the install and it found the card and installed
Tulip. The light is on, on the card and the hub and ifconfig returns what I
would expect of a configured eth0.
I can ping the card and the machine name from itself but I can't ping my
gateway (ISDN router) or any other machines on the network and I can't ping
this box from any other machine.
As everything looks as if it is set up correctly I'm rather bemused as to
what could be causing the problem here. I know that the card itself is
working as I tested it in another box, and I've plugged other things into
the network using the cable that is now in this box just to check that it
all operating correctly.
Any ideas? Or things I can check for? At the moment the system really is
totally bare bones.
