Hi all,

I've an ethernet connection between a SparcStation LX and my PC going
through a hub, unfortunately when I try to get my SuSE 6.0 installation
to talk to the network nothing happens. I looked at the routing and the
card setup and found that, as far as I could see, all the information
was as the man pages/how-tos said it should be. Using cat /proc/net/dev
I saw that all the packets are being routed to the localhost (lo)
instead of going to eth0, my 3Com 595 T4 ethernet card. I have rebuilt
the routing table both by hand and via YAST, and have checked that the
card is set up ok. I even got my work Sysadmin to take a look, adn he
couldn't find anything obviously wrong.

So, what I would like to know is: Is there any special file or setup
specific to SuSE that I have missed? Or is there anything that you could
tell me to check, as ifconfig, netstat, route, cat /proc/net/dev and
YAST all show the networking information as correct... (to add insult to
injury I managed to get windows95 to work with the network first
time!<grr>)

Please help this suffering fool :-)

Have Fun,
Jim McBoyle
