I recently (two nights ago) installed RH 6.0 but because I didn't do a network install (I used a CD), my ethernet card was not picked up. I have an IBM Thinkpad 760, so my card is therefore a PCMCIA card. I installed the pcmcia drivers (David Hind's) which support my card, and set everything up. I then connected to cunix and everything seemed great, until...I realized I could not type anything. It was as if the screen froze at cunix (or any outside) login. All I could do was ctrl-] to break the connection. I then tried ftp, except that after inputting userid and password, it simply hung. To test what might be the problem, I tried logging in to my own system, where both telnet in and ftp in worked fine. And I had a friend try to log in to my system, who also encountered problems like I had logging in elsewhere. I looked over my settings, and everything matches this same friend who has his setup working (albeit on a desktop). Hostname, search domains, gateway, gateway device (eth0), everything matched up (except for machine differences like actual hostname -- every entry was similar), and the only thing that somehow seems awry is the broadcast ip (shown from ifconfig and the network control panel) of 128.59.233.255. I read through the HOWTO, there isn't any mention of a problem like this. While booting up, I do get an error when eth0 initialization is delayed, but that is because cardmgr services have not started. When they do, the card is brought up, id'd properly (so listed in /var/log/messages) and everything seems fine. Yet it has this weird problem connecting outside. I can, however, ping anyone with no problem whatsoever. Does anyone have *any* clue what it might be? Besides a misconfigured card, I can't imagine what might be wrong -- I checked with my Windows info on my ethernet card (an IBM Credit Card Ethernet Adapter - CCAE), which does show different irq's and i/o, but if that were a problem, I should think the card would not work at all. And this isn't a specific driver for the card, just the general one that supports many. I have used RH 5.1 before, had no network problems, and have done net installs before so I know RH has no problem with my card per se. Hopefully one of y'all has a clue since I'm stumped... Thanks, Joel
