This is not really a linux question, but...
I have a linux box, a bsd box and a win box(both 98 and Win2k)...for the winbox
I have a SMC USB Ethernet adapter. I've been messing with my LAN for about 8
hours now and am positive that everything is configured correctly, as a matter
of fact, by the books. The winbox cannot be seen nor can it see anything else
on the LAN. I thought perhaps it might be a cracked wire somewhere along the
cable or a mis-wired wallbox, but I've checked it and everything is literally
straight cable...no accidental crossovers. I used a multi-tester and check the
wires in pairs and everything is A-OK electro-mechanically. I'm guessing there
is some issue with the SMC converters that prevents them from being connected
into a hub...I really don't think there should be, but as it was supplied by
@home, I didn't get a manual or other info with it, nor have I yet located a
support or FAQ site. There is no RTFM here...does anyone have any experience
with this sort of adapter? It can't be windows or linux and the bsd machine
isn't even connected. each machine is uniquely addressed is able to ping
itself, but the winmachine just doesn't wanna play with the big boys...please
any assisstance would be appreciated with this converter. All I want is one good
ping to and from this machine and the rest is academic.
