Make sure the network card is in half duplex mode and 10Mb.. I think these cards do 100Mb don't they...
I've seen weird problems when these type of cards are in autodetect mode... dunno why.. -----Original Message----- From: Minh Van Le [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, 9 January 2002 5:55 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [SLUG] Ping from eth0 problem I'm experiencing difficulty getting an ISA 3Com509 NIC to communicate to the rest of my LAN. I can't see any reason for it not to work as I've checked ifconfig, route and ipchains. /proc's IRQ/IO and module seems to be aware of the 3Com509. The ping error is "Destination Host Unreachable". I've also replaced the ISA 3Com509 with a PCI Netgear FA310TX with the exact network (and cabling) configuration and the FA310 works under Linux, so there's no (or shouldn't be) cabling or routing/firewall problems. I've also tested the 3Com509 under W2k to communicate to other Linux hosts and had no problems, so I know the 3Com509 works on both the 10Base2 and 10BaseT ports. I also tried passing "media 10base2" and "media 10baset" to ifconfig which still doesn't fix the problem. To my knowledge the 3Com509 is installed on IRQ:10 I/O:0300-030f. Distribution is Redhat 7.2 [2.4.7-10]. Here're my diagnostics when only the ISA 3Com509 is inserted: [root@f1 tmp]# ping -c 3 192.168.0.1 PING 192.168.0.1 (192.168.0.1) from 192.168.0.10 : 56(84) bytes of data. >From 192.168.0.10: Destination Host Unreachable >From 192.168.0.10: Destination Host Unreachable >From 192.168.0.10: Destination Host Unreachable --- 192.168.0.1 ping statistics --- 3 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, +3 errors, 100% packet loss [root@f1 tmp]# ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:20:AF:E1:5A:2A inet addr:192.168.0.10 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:36 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:1512 (1.4 Kb) lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:84 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:84 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 RX bytes:6714 (6.5 Kb) TX bytes:6714 (6.5 Kb) [root@f1 tmp]# route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo [root@f1 tmp]# ipchains -L Chain input (policy ACCEPT): Chain forward (policy ACCEPT): Chain output (policy ACCEPT): [root@f1 tmp]# lsmod Module Size Used by ide-cd 27072 0 (autoclean) cdrom 28512 0 (autoclean) [ide-cd] soundcore 4464 0 (autoclean) binfmt_misc 6416 1 iscsi 21984 0 (unused) scsi_mod 95696 1 [iscsi] autofs 11520 0 (autoclean) (unused) 3c509 7920 1 appletalk 20912 0 (autoclean) ipx 16448 0 (autoclean) ipchains 39200 0 mousedev 4448 1 hid 19024 0 (unused) input 3840 0 [mousedev hid] usb-uhci 21536 0 (unused) usbcore 51712 1 [hid usb-uhci] ext3 64624 2 jbd 40992 2 [ext3] [root@f1 tmp]# cat /proc/interrupts CPU0 0: 184779 XT-PIC timer 1: 3783 XT-PIC keyboard 2: 0 XT-PIC cascade 8: 1 XT-PIC rtc 10: 0 XT-PIC eth0 12: 30086 XT-PIC usb-uhci, usb-uhci 14: 20969 XT-PIC ide0 15: 5503 XT-PIC ide1 NMI: 0 ERR: 0 [root@f1 tmp]# cat /proc/ioports 0000-001f : dma1 0020-003f : pic1 0040-005f : timer 0060-006f : keyboard 0070-007f : rtc 0080-008f : dma page reg 00a0-00bf : pic2 00c0-00df : dma2 00f0-00ff : fpu 0170-0177 : ide1 01f0-01f7 : ide0 02f8-02ff : serial(auto) 0300-030f : 3c509 0376-0376 : ide1 03c0-03df : vga+ 03f6-03f6 : ide0 03f8-03ff : serial(auto) 0cf8-0cff : PCI conf1 4000-40ff : VIA Technologies, Inc.
