Hi!
I've just installed a minimal potato sytem (no GUI) in order to
continue installing the rest of the stuff I need via the web.
The machine uses a 3c905c tx NIC. Following the advices from this
list I intalled the 3c59x driver for it. I disabled too the
plug and play option in the BIOS (another suggestion from this list,
which solved and IRQ conflict with the NIC).
The problem is that I can't reach anything in my LAN. Here are the
outputs from the ifconfig and route commands:
nostromo:/home/chiappa# ifconfig eth0
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:01:03:DD:17:4C
inet addr:152.92.133.47 Bcast:152.92.133.63 Mask:255.255.255.192
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1

nostromo:/home/chiappa# route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
localnet * 255.255.255.192 U 0 0 0 eth0
it seems that the gateway is not assigned yet, but I gave the gw IP during
the installation. If I use route for configuring it (thanks David!) I get:
nostromo:/home/chiappa# route add default gw 152.92.133.1
SIOCADDRT: File exists
and nothing is done.
What could be wrong with the NIC?
Thanks in advance for the help!
Regards,
Marcelo
