Yes, this is an IP network. The subnet in question is 10.2.0.0/16 and the IP settings are correct for the card. You've confused me now though. I can see mii-tool, and can confirm that if I disconnect the cable the output changes. However, the ping problem confuses me. I can ping myself 10.2.1.7) which tell me that the IP stack is working and that the card's been recognised right? I don't know what the broadcast ping proves though, and when I try to ping a remote host, or from another box try to ping my laptop it doesn't work. Surely, this is still an IP related issue. > 2) Is there another Linux box to check for configuration information? How do you mean check the config? If you mean the IP settings, they're correct and match all the other boxes I have. I did statr off with dhcp enabled, but changed it to manual settings when that didn't work initially. If you mean card settings, then I can't help as I don't have another box with a SIS900 card in. > > > --- 10.2.0.0 ping statistics --- > > 3 packets transmitted, 3 received, 0% packet loss, time 2004ms > > rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.228/0.250/0.263/0.015 ms, pipe 2 > > [root@localhost root]# uname -a > > Linux localhost.localdomain 2.4.22-1.2115.nptl #1 Wed Oct 29 15:42:51 EST > > 2003 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux > > [root@localhost root]# > > [gary@gary gary]$ -- Gary Stainburn This email does not contain private or confidential material as it may be snooped on by interested government parties for unknown and undisclosed purposes - Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act, 2000
