If you haven't already, take a look at "man lnc". I had a timeout problem on another ne2000 clone and the problem ended up being that it failed to autodetect the network type. I.e. I was on 10Mbit UTP but it was trying 100Mbit UTP full duplex. The network type and duplex settings can be configured with "ifconfig" the man page for lnc should tell you what options are available. Hope that helps. Frederic Massicotte wrote: > > Hello, > > I dot know the correct group I should send this message.
