No, arp dont display your own address. Ifconfig does. Output of

Any cabling issue?
Like you use a crossover cable (and should not unless connected to the
'uplink on the hub). Or normal cable and connected to a uplink port?
Many hub's on the network? Cabling lenght? Total from one end to
the other of the segment? (I dont have that kind of network, but I am
told other have..)
Any chance of setting up another linux on the network to do some
listening? Like a minimal http://www.trinux.org with module for a nic
in a machine, put on a couple of floppies or on disk on any of the other
machines, and run.
That could give you a listening-point. (running tcpdump on trinux.)
You need it. From it, on a machine 'known to be good', listening on
traffic. Can you se your own ping's going with 'tcpdump icmp'. Any
arp-traffic 'tcpdump arp'?

Under setting for tcp/ip in win95 (I dont have netbeui) it can be
set under 'netbios' to 'activate netbios over tcp/ip'. That is always
(greyed out, but activated option) hooked here.
_Guess_ it is so because I dont have netbeui installed.
Or is it because I have under 'binding' (dont have english version, so
what it is..) hooked on for 'sharing.. ' and 'client ...'
All under setting for tcp/ip in win95.
Just wonder.
Without those settings will win95 try to handle "arp(lookalike)" and
"SMB" over netbeui? Could that explain a lot of things (like ping)
not working for people?

The only reason you would get that error message is if you are running an
application on your Linux box that already has port 80 bound to the x.y.z.w
address (like apache). Check to see if you have apache running, if so, kill
it and then try starting up rinetd.

A telnet with zmodem may be:

No sense doing so. But as a check for whats 'seen' by the machine,
after a tracert, (or ping) if nothing there, why..
(could it be win set up for not runing netbios over tcp/ip, and
instead running it over netbeui? I dont know. Do you use netbeui?)

if 192.168.1.5 is your nic on windows:
C:\route add 192.168.1.3 192.168.1.5
Would point traffic to 192.168.1.3 to go over the 192.168.1.5 nic.
And then you could 'C:\route delete 192.168.1.3' if you dont want
that.
But. This is not anything needed to get ting going. Normally.
C:\route print
Can be of some use.

Cold (unplug an ATX box!) boot, especially with 3c905B Cyclone.

You dont have to, but if you start another console (alt + F2 (or
F3,F4,F5.) and set it to ping, change back to (alt + F1) original and
run tcpdump, I guess you should see your own card sending. (and you
should se a reply, but...)

Ping localhost and your own ip-address. (is hostname set in the
machine, can you ping that hostname)
In another posting. I suggested running trinux on a machine. If you
on another machine (nt) run 'C:\ping -t known-good-working-ip-adress'
it should run forever, and give you some traffic. (or on another
consol of the machine running trinux. Linux dont need the '-t')

Date: Thu, 29 Jul 1999 10:56:22 +0100
I'm running Red Hat 6.0 on an Intel P90 PC box. I have an oldish ISA
Intel Ether Pro10 network card. It's a combo card with 10BaseT, BNC and
AUI connectors. The chip is marked FA82595TX.
The PC hung during Linux installation when it tried to probe the card,
so I substituted and old NE2000 card, which worked fine until it
suffered hardware failure. So I'm having to try the Intel card again.
I've changed the conf.modules file to read:
alias eth0 eepro
options eepro io=0x230 irq=11
which ties in with a response I saw to someone else's posting. However,
the PC hangs during boot when it tries to start eth0.
I also have a newer ISA Ether Pro10 Combo card at home that we have
never got to work with RH5.1, SUSE6 or RH6.0, though WD cards work ok.
I've checked out the HOWTOs, etc, which suggest that I shouldn't have
any problem.
Any advice would be welcome. Thanks,

I've fixed this for the moment. My system has netkit-base-0.10-31 installed.
By getting the source to netkit-base-0.10-29.src.rpm and compiling it, but
taking only ping rather than doing a full "make install" I've fixed the

"ping -c 2" now times out on a node that is down, rather than carry on
