Network, again, is my Woody Box/Ne2k-pci to a Redhat system via a single
switched-pair
ether cable, and from there via serial connection across a radio dish to
another building,
where the server is. That server then ties me into the internet.
But in spite of there being no collisions, the ping 192.168.13.254
command still takes infinitely long,
and I can't use my browser/email service -- but only on Linux. My Win98
still operates fine (same
computer).
Any other suggestions?
Look and see if you are starting up DIALD on bootup. The "S10"
interface suggests that it is. If I read your network setup correctly,
you shouldn't have any need to use this program on this computer.
Disable it and see what happens. (dpkg --purge diald) or any other
method you choose. You might have to re-configure your routing table if
you take it out.
What is your "route" command? You should have a "defaultroute" or
"gateway" entry to your RH box.
Are you using DNS or /etc/hosts file for name lookup? I suggest you at
least put the name & IP of your RH box in the hosts file. If you are
using a DNS server outside your LAN, then they won't know anything about
your RH box since it is on a "private" address space.
Good Luck!
