Hello,
 
I am newbie on linux and have a problem with my ethernet connection.
I installed Mandrake 7.2    and it detect correctly my ethernet PCMCIA card connected to a cable operator and installed dhcpcd with pcnet_cs as driver.
 
I received no error message during boot.
When I enter 'ifconfig' I received parameters for lo and eth0 with correct IP address.
If I try a ping I received after several seconds (sometimes up to the minute), answer like
connecting 'correct IP address' 40ms, 30 packets send, 1 received 94% packets lost, sometimes even 100% packets loss.
The same connection works fine in Windows so it is not a hardware problem
 
It seems that I am connected and that the connection my computer-> ISP is working but that ISP ->computer replies one request on 100 or something like that.
 
Any idea were I have to look to correct it (PCMCIA problem, network config, server parameters,...)
It will surely helps just to know what is causing the problem!
 
Looking throgh the logs the only 'strange' thing (at least that I saw <G>) is at the configuration of PCMCIA card
Starting card manager
Loading module for sound card (ESS) :ethernet 10/100T OK
 
Is this a hint of conflict between my sound card (ess maestro) and my ethernet  card??
 
Thank you for any help you can provided
