i've had similar problem with an old 3com nic two days ago - ping worked in simplex mode(can see me, but i can't see a thing). try ifconfig xl0 media 100BaseTX mediaopt full-duplex or ifconfig xl0 media auto
also, sometimes after power failure switch goes mad (some cheap trendnet) - then i must do: ifconfig xl0 down;sleep 3;ifconfig xl0 up -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ian Sent: Wednesday, January 11, 2006 7:16 PM To: freebsd-net@freebsd.org Subject: Debugging a simple net problem I have a fresh install of 6.0-RELEASE on an old PII-450 machine I had lying around. It didn't have built-in Ethernet so I put in an old 3Com Etherlink III ISA card into the remaining ISA slot. I can get an address via DHCP from my router, but I can't ping the router. I can ping 127.0.0.1, and the IP address the machine was assigned. The ifconfig and netstat -r look OK, I have addresses on my net going to ep0 and a default route out via the router. I'm puzzled that DHCP works but nothing else. I configured the card using sysinstall but I can manually configure the card with a valid address and routing info, with the same result. I'm not sure how to test further from here. Can someone tell me what I might try next? I was considering replacing the network card, but since I can DHCP the card does appear to work.
