Hi, I recently installed FreeBSD 4.5 but am unable to get the ethernet card to work. The card is in slot pci0 (I've heard there used to be problems with using other pci slots, so I'm eliminating as many variables as I can). My ifconfig looks like: dc0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICASE> mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::2a0:ccff:fe20:b37a%dc0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 inet 192.168.0.44 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255 ether 00:a0:cc:20:b3:7a status: no carrier lp0: flags=8810<POINTOPOINT,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 ppp0: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 sl0: flags=c010<POINTOPOINT,LINK2,MULTICAST> mtu 552 faith0: flags=8002<BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 If I switch the media type on ifconfig_dc0 in /etc/rc.conf to 100baseTX, the status message will switch back and forth between "No Carrier" and "Active." However, even when the message states that the card is active, I am unable to ping anything on the network, including the node to which the computer is directly connected. I can, however, ping localhost. I also see many many messages like "dc0: TX underrun -- using store and forward mode," "/kernel: dc0: watchdog timeout," and "/kernel: dc0: TX underrun -- increasing TX threshold." I hear that these are likely more noise than useful messages, but I thought I should mention them just in case. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. -Byron __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
