I've got a very strange problem I've never encountered before. I've been setting up a new machine with Debian 2.2r3 from the CDs. Install went without a hitch. 3c509B card installed fine. Logged in as root after reboot to do post- install config and updating.
Turns out there appears to be no network connectivity. There is a link light on the hub - but I replugged the cables just to be sure - even swapped the cable for one I *know* is ok. Same problem. Ran ifconfig - everything appears normal. eth0 is up and has IP: 192.168.0.3 Netmask: 255.255.255.0 GW: 192.168.0.1. (I've just remembered I've not looked at the routing table - but that shouldn't matter!). Can ping 127.0.0.1 just fine. Can ping 192.168.0.3 just fine. Try and ping anything else - just doesn't want to know. Nothing else can ping it either. Have I done something daft? I've set up loads of other Debian boxen - so I don't think it's a newbie fault. Any suggestions would be most welcome cos I'm flumoxed (what a wonderful word :) Cheers, Andrew Pritchard, Whether you think you can, Or whether you think you can't, You're right!
