Ok, it's a little off-topic. I'm building a masquerading gateway for
a client, which has a 3C905 "Vortex" 10/100 card in it. Eventually
there will be 2 of these. Right now, I'm having difficulty getting
ONE card to talk to my office network.
The card appears to initialize correctly, and looks OK in ifconfig,
but won't talk. Pings fail, and telnet attempts come back with "no
route to host". My /etc/sysconfig/network file is identical to
others; the output of route looks just like my working machines, but
no apparent communications. I also can't ping this machine from
others on the local network.
I'd appreciate any thoughts, before I dump these "fine" cards and put
in $20 NE-2000 clone cards.
(I seem to have more trouble with new 3Com cards than any others, in
Win 95 and NT machines, too. These cards won't connect, but cheap
cards find servers and the rest of the network first time, every
time. Is there something wrong with me? Are the Network Gods
frowning on me?)
