Date: Sun, 28 Jul 96 04:48:32 GMT Organization: Cornerstone Networks Lines: 13 Message-ID: <4terb3$2fu@dot.cstone.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: basement.cstone.net X-Newsreader: News Xpress 2.0 Beta #2 Hi, I am currently running 2.1.5REL. I have two machines with the same hardware config, I have a 3com link builder and it is only 10base-T but on some occasions when I reboot the machine, the kernel autodetects 10base-TX rather than 10base-T. This is a really bad thing because if I remotely reboot the machine, It does not get on the network if it autoselects 10-base-TX. Is there anyway that I can specify which type of network it is. Can I specifically tell it to pick 10-base-T rather than TX. This often happens and it sucks. Thanks for any help! -Paul
