etharp -- yes, in the BIOS I have PnP OS set to No, and Resources are configured Manually, w/ IRQ10 set to LEGACY ISA.  I ran the nic diags util (off a DOS floppy) just to check, and the settings are correct -- no PnP support, set to I 10 / P 300  (BTW, the nic is an ISA).

mshinet -- not sure I completely understand you.  I tried lsmod and got:

The output from dmesg is attached, but I could see nothing to indicate a problem with either the resources or the network.

see the modules added already??

Subject: [newbie] network problems

HW:
    Epox mbd, w/ resources set manually,
    AMD K6-2/350, 256MB SDRAM
    3Com 3c509, port=300, irq=10

Everything worked ok under Windows.

Just installed Mandrake 8.0 Standard Edition, and everything appears fine
except
the network (internal LAN).  On one level it appears to be configured, but
on
another level something is wrong.  When I try to ping anything (including
myself)
I get: Network is unreachable
(I can ping the loopback (127.0.0.1), but that's pointless).

The clearest indicator I've found in my searching is during interactive
bootup:
/lib/modules/2.4.3-20mdk/kernel/drivers/net/3c509.o.gz invalid parm_io
and
/lib/modules/2.4.3-20mdk/kernel/drivers/net/3c509.o.gz insmod eth0 failed

When I use draknet I get stuck in an infinite loop where it asks me what
card
to try, then fails to locate it and asks again.  I checked the resources,
and
there aren't any conflicts.  And to dispell any doubts, the case is open --
the card is a 3Com Etherlink III 3C509b.

Running netconf, the settings are:
    Host name + domain:    me.ohmy.com
    Enabled on
    Config mode: Manual
    Primary name + domain:    me.ohmy.com
    IP address:    153.6.76.76
    Netmask:        255.255.0.0
    Net device:    eth0
    Kernal module:    3c509
    I/O port:        300
    Irq:                10

Looking thru the archives, I saw ifconfig used, so I tried it.
#ifconfig
    lo     Link encap: Local Loopback
            inet addr: 127.0.0.0        netmask: 255.0.0.0
            ...
#ifconfig eth0
    eth0: error fetching interface information: Device not found

All attempts to configure eth0 (not that I know what I'm doing) result in:
SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device
address: Host name lookup failure

Got a clue I could use? TIA.
