I have a PII running FC3 with a DEC500 as eth0. It has worked fine for months when directly connected (crossover cable) to another desktop with an identical FC3 installation but Realtek NIC using NFS, or similarly to a laptop (Win98) using Samba. These latter two communicate fine through a Synoptics Lattishub 2803. However when the PII is connected to the Lattishub, the LINK LED only flashes once every few seconds along with the DATA, (DATA) & COL LED's. I cannot ping any other host. The cables (straight through) have been checked. The configuration still allows direct connection with NFS or Samba which still works fine. Does anyone know what the problem may be? Any suggested fixes? Regards Simon Slater.
