>From what you last posted, it seems only logical that the problem is not
with linux, but more like the crossover cable to your cable modem or the
cable modem itself. I actually have the same config, except with a 2.2.5
kernel and it has been working great. The only problem was the fact that
@home uses DHCP and for some reason, it wouldn't take my IP settings for
the interface that is connected to it. I would reboot to windows and
never saw a problem. I know this sounds wierd, but I just powered off the
modem, rebooted it the same time with my linux box and for some reason it
worked. I know this is not a good technical reason, but for some reason
it worked.
sorry for the long story

some things you might want to do is first do a dmesg to see if you system
sees interface eth0. If not, edit the file /etc/conf.modules to reflect
the correct module for your card.
for example ne2000 compatible card
alias eth0 ne
options ne io=0x300 irq=5
now after a reboot, you should see eth0 when you do a dmesg |more.

ifconfig eth0 (ipaddress) (mask)

Hi,
I had problems with nfs, especially rpc.nfsd. I got the message
nfssvc: Function not implemented.
A fix is as follows:
uninstall knfsd and knfsd-clients
install nfs-server-beta37 from redhat 5.2
also install the nfs-server-clients from redhat 5.2
They work fine for me, perhaps just a bit slow.
You can get them from the mirror sites or from my manchine.

Hope this helps.

Would it be possible to stick the .o file in /lib/modules, or putting it some
place so that it could be compiled as a module? What instructions came with the
source and object file? Surely, there must have been a 'readme'...

yea...here's the linux.txt-
This Linux driver and source are patched driver from the original driver
for Linux RedHat v5.1 to support Unicom PCI 10/100Base Fast Ethernet
adapter.
The source can be recomplied to run in the various versions of Linux in
the market.
I just have no experience compiling the kernel and wasnt sure, at that,
if I had to compile it with the kernel or seprately.. I don't want to
make things worse :)

Hi,
I recommend you go and buy a parallel 'laplink' cable ($5-10) and use
PLIP (Parallel line IP) instead. The benefits are a much easier
setup (IMHO) and 3-4 x the speed, compared to serial transfer.
The disadvantage is, it is more difficult if one of your boxes
uses a parallel printer or any other parallel device - but then you'd
de better off with a 2nd parallel interface ($10 for 8bit ISA, which
is far enough!).
Look at the PLIP-HOWTO and the PLIP.txt in /usr/src/linux/Documentation
for more info - it's worth it !!

Use the via-rhine driver instead. It's included in newer
2.0.x and 2.2.x kernels.

Yes to both.
look at your /etc/ntp.conf and insert a few (recommended three or more)
stratum=2 servers, kill -HUP your xntpd daemon from /etc/rc.d/rc2.d then
wait a couple minutes and type
xntpdc
peers
quit
and you'll see that you're synchronizing to those servers. Set your
other boxes up to look at that one for their time.
That's a quick down and dirty, you want to read this page and follow
most of it's links, though for an explanation of what's going on and to
find servers:
