Lines: 23 I can't seem go get my machine to start up the network properly. I have a generic 386-40 with a Western Digital ethernet card in it. The card is recognized at boot time, but /etc/netstart doesn't ifconfig the card. So I typed in: /etc/ifconfig we0 inet 129.179.44.31 up netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 129.179.44.255 and the machine starts putting this to my console: reject 65531reject65531reject65531......... repeating every second or so. I've read the FAQ and other instructions, but I can't find any relevant info. Any help is greatly appreciated! BTW I've tried simplifying the ifconfig command by leaving off broadcast, netmask, and up but I always get the reject65531 response. -- #include <std.disclaimer> #define FULL_NAME "Paul Dokas" #define EMAIL "pbd@runyon.cim.cdc.com" /* we are realizing infinite possibilities in exchange for our soul */
