Please help, this is a newbie being stupid question.... I've done several slink installs that have worked fine.
I'm trying to install it on my laptop now and am having problems with the system once its installed. Basically everything seems fine but I can't use the network (3c589 pcmcia ethernet). I can ping the machine's own address but pings anywhere else result with ping declaring "not allowed"... My ifconfig and route table look fine. I know the driver and network is okay because the entire system was nfs installed initially! This problem occurs when I reboot after completing the entire install process. I suspect that I've (unknowingly) installed some sort of ip security program that is not allowing network access, I see things in the boot log like "ip paranoia deamon"... and others that I don't understand. I used the custom package selection of dinstall. I've carefully done the process twice with the same results. As a newbie, I have no idea how to search the OS to find the offending software if that's the problem. Besides any suggestions on what might be causing this problem, can someone please let me know how I'd (efficiently) go about tracking down offending software in general?
