Hi,
I have got FreeBSD up and runnign successfully, but I cannot get it to
talk to the Local Network.
We have a P166 with an Adaptec SCSI Driver and a 3COM Etherlink III card.
Origionally there was an IRQ collision between the two cards, but using the
3C905 Network Interface with an IRQ of 8 both now come up successfully.
The system will come up and define the routing table, but it will not
communicate across the Twisted-Pair connection to any other machines via
the Hub. The hub will also not light up to say there is a valid link.
The machine (kaneda) IP is 194.74.216.2 and the router (corpex-gw) has an
IP of 194.74.216.254, which are both configured in the /etc/xxxconfigs
together with the appropriate Netmask.
The machine has to be successfully accessing the card, because netstat -r
retruns valid data for the machines ethernet address.
Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expiry
default corpex-gw UGSc 9 0 ep0
localhost localhost UH 0 0 lo0
194.74.216 link=A32 UC 1 0
kaneda 0:a0:24:9d:70:8f UHLW 3 147 lo0
corpex-gw link=A32 UHLW 10 0
note initially (just after boot) the last line is as follows.
corpex-gw link=A32 UH 10 0 ep0 1
but it expires to the above.
I have several questions, but I would alos appreciate some general comments
where this problem has been encountered before (as is evident on the
Mailing List Archive), but I can see no fixes listed there..
What does UHLW mean in the above?
What does link=A32 mean in the above?
Do I NEED to change my network card?
Is there a configuration in the kernel I can change that will solve the
problem, or a patch, or have I missed a configuration setting.
Note: The cable is fine, and the card is fine, when tested in another (Win95=
)
machine.
Many Thanks for any assistance you can give me.
Neil
