Also, when you were in the 3c5x9cfg program did you see where it told you what interface to use (such as BNC, AUX, TPO, or auto-detect)? First I would ensure that it's set to TPO (twisted pair, RJ-45, big telephone cable, whatever) and ensure that you have a solid connection/cable/hub/etc. Next... does this problem panic and freeze the whole system? If not skip the rest of the paragraph. If so, then you will have to reset the system and when prompted, press a button to stop the loading process and "boot -s" (boot in single user mode) mount -a (all drives) to access the /etc/rc.conf. Now, I have not tried this before but a brief scan indicates that you may have a ifconfig problem, which is loaded from the /etc/rc.conf. You may want to add the media type with the 10BaseT option (a brief example may be in order). ifconfig_ep0="inet 192.168.0.5 netmask 255.255.255.0" ifconfig_flags="10BaseT" Obviously, you have to put a valid IP address where I have the 192.168.0.5. BTW, ensure that ep0 is in your network_interfaces line in your rc.conf... You will note that I also sent this message to the mailing list, because I don't know what your problem really is, hopefully someone more knowledgeable can chime in (and if it is by chance correct, it will be archived for future reference). Hope this is of some help. K. Greenwood __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Make international calls for as low as $.04/minute with Yahoo!
