Computer is a Dell Latitude D266XT with a Xircom realport 10/100 ethernet + modem - I had network and dialup using wvdial both working, but without making any changes I am now having problems: wvdial gives me "cannot open /dev/ttys2: Input/output error" I can start ethernet, and pump gets me an IP address, & adds the nameserver to /etc/resolv, but I can not even ping the DHCP server - I get a timeout. ifconfig shows that the machine received an address, but from the server I cannot ping that address. I suspected hardware problems (maybe still), but booting into Windows 2000 I find that dialup works (although with considerably slower connections than before) and ethernet works (although now a suspend requires me to pull the card out and reinsert to get it to work). I tried a known working (identical) Xircom card & found the same problems. I am about ready to go to Dell since the machine is still under warranty, but would like to have more definitive evidence of computer hardware problems - I suspect that if I mention Linux on the machine they won't have much patience with me... Any ideas on how I can test this better? Thanks.
