TCP Issues (firewall at eth0) how to proceed ...
Hello:

I disabled the onboard lan chip and put in a standalone ethernet card.
Here's two relevant lines from a current dump of lspci:
(This dump was made from a previous install of ubuntu, which picked up
the davicom)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
01:05.0 Ethernet controller: Davicom Semiconductor, Inc. 21x4x DEC-Tulip
compatible 10/100 Ethernet (rev 31)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
01:09.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Texas Instruments TSB43AB23 IEEE-1394a-2000
Controller (PHY/Link)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've installed from the netinst cd for debian 4.0
During the network configuration dialogue - I chose the first choice, which
associates eth0 with the Firewire device.
The davicom device was shown as eth1 (if I recall correctly)
Couldn't reach any mirrors for software updates or security updates,
ifconfig shows an IP address configured as I requested, put can't ping
anything on my home network, nor can I ping this machine.
To proceed, I'm open to recommendations:
Should I:
1)Re-install, choosing the davicom (the stand-alone ethernet card)
2)Tweak the bare-bones system
If so - where to start. I'm a programmer comfortable with the command
line. Several years background in RH and slack, but not a OS geek.
As I write, I've shut the machine down, is vi(m) with the barebones
netinst?
If not, what editor? - That way I can familiarize myself beforehand.
Links to docs are welcome.
Thanks
