AXPers,
I have been running FreeBSD 5.0 20010721-CURRENT on a AS5305. I have
encountered some odd behavior between my DEC 21140-AA NIC and 5.0-Current.
It seems from all the research, trial and error, that there is something not
right.
Problem: telnet & ping to exisisting LAN boxes or WAN - brings up "No Host
found...."
Synopsis: Ethernet Card is able to "Auto-Negotiate" w/ switch or hub, but
does not send or recieve data....
** Only able to ping "localhost"
Observations:
1.) NIC works (tested on a Win2000 machine) able to access Internet and LAN
machines.
2.) Have tried different "SRM settings: (Set ewa0_mode" Auto-Negotiate,
Fast, Twisted-Pair) -- No Avail
3.) Switch led ON: -- "indicating life from NIC and NIC is detected by
Switch/ Hub"
4.) 2 led lights on EtherNet Card ON: "link" & "100" -- "alive I assume"
5.) /etc/rc.conf file configured correctly -- "settings exactly ike other
FreeBSD Boxes in Network"
6.) Tried another Hub which is a 10base-T and the Ethernet Card's
"Auto-Negotiate" changes NIC to a "10 base-T half-duplex" -- same story
bad...
7.) ifconfig -a reads:
de0: flags=8c43<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 192.168.1.55 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
inet6 fe80::280:2bff:fe00:69f%de0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
ether 00:06:2b:00:06:9f
media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>) status: active
lp0: flags=8049<UP, LOOPBACK, RUNNING, MULTICAST> mtu 16384
inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128
inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
ppp0: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
faith0: flags=8000<MULTICAST> mtu 1500
Lastly, I have low-level formatted my drives and tried to re-Install via
"FTP Install from an FTP server" and configured my network settings, and
still to no avail. Can there be something with the kernel.flp and or
kernel?
Thanks,
Diego Montalvo
