Thanks for your reply! >What do you mean by "voila, nothing"? Sorry; I mean I get the same behavior as before. I can ping its ip address, and 127.0.0.1, but I can't get out on my local network. >Are you saying that this is a machine that was >networking properly and >suddenly it wasn't, and you think that it is an OS >problem? One day the machine was working properly. The next day, it had dropped off the network. I hadn't done anything to its configuration. I had thought it was due to the nic being bad. I did back out my custom kernel and reinstall GENERIC, with no change (the machine still doesn't come up on the network). >Sounds like the card is set to full duplex or you are >mixing /10 and /100 >cards or something like that. I think that you can >eliminate the hub and >the cable as possible causes. This leaves it to be >either the NIC or some >kind of configuration issue. the old nic--the one I thought was dead--was just a /10. All the cards in all my machines here are /10s except for in my gateway machine which has a /100 going to my dsl modem. But...I'm not having any problems with any other machines. So far, I've tried three nics (one that I know for sure is good) in the different available pci slots in the machine. A friend of mine thinks it's a bad motherboard, but before I start salvaging hardware from the machine, I want to be sure.re.
