My 3Com 3c509 appears to have been faulty, so I returned it to the shop, and
I'm currently running two NE2000 clones, (I know they're inefficient, but
they'll do for just now), they're both plug and play PCI cards, and when I use
the network diagnostics on the supplied floppy discs, they both can see each
other fine. However with the machines running their respective operating
systems, (Windows95 and linux respectively) I can't ping either way. The
Windows box has the correct driver loaded, and also network neighborhoods &
tcp/ip loaded, the IP address in the TCP setting under windows is 192.168.2.2,
and the netmask is 255.255.255.0, no gateway address is set.
On my linux box, I have the following script as
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0...
#!/bin/sh
#>>>device type: ethernet
#>>>variable declarations
DEVICE=eth0
IPADDR=192.168.2.1
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=192.168.2.0
BROADCAST=192.168.2.255
GATEWAY=199.1.2.10
ONBOOT=yes
#>>>End variable declarations
My ifconfig output is as follows......
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 52:54:05:E2:6B:99
inet addr:192.168.2.1 Bcast:192.168.2.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1

TX packets:9 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

RX packets:121 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:121 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

And my route is as follows
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.2.1 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 eth0
192.168.2.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
The card is detected at boot time as follows......
ne2k-pci.c:vpre-1.00e 5/27/99 D. Becker/P. Gortmaker
http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/ne2k-pci.html
ne2k-pci.c: PCI NE2000 clone 'RealTek RTL-8029' at I/O 0xf780, IRQ 9.
My interrupts seem to count just fractionally higher than the number of pings,
suggesting the card is doing something.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong????
