Sorry to go off topic, but I greatly respect
the general knowledge of this newsgroup.
I have a 3com 3c589 pcmcia network card
that has recently been acting really strange.
I know that it is configured correctly
(/etc/sysconfig/network and ifcfg-eth0, etc..)
but here is the problem: it is assigned an
internal IP of 192.168.1.5 and I can ping
another computer such as 192.168.1.2 (as
well as 192.168.1.5 and localhost), but
as of yesterday (it was working fine before
then) I cannot ping the IP Masq gateway
192.168.1.1 . The computer shuttles between
two similarly configured networks (192.168.1.*
addressing scheme with 192.168.1.1 as the
ip masq gateway) and the exact same problem
occurs. Also, this is happening in both
linux and windows. The network is otherwise
operating normal for other clients behind the
IP masq machine. It appears, for some
(hardware?) reason, that 192.168.1.1 is
inaccessable to my NIC. Does anyone know
what (if any) remedies there are for this?
I have never come across something like this.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Best,
Chris
