SMC Elite Ultra Message-ID: <mvhDwuIyq.80s@netcom.com> Organization: NETCOM On-line Communication Services (408 261-4700 guest) X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL1] Date: Wed, 28 Aug 1996 11:37:38 GMT Lines: 25 Sender: mvh@netcom18.netcom.com I am trying to get networking working, I would rather not change the networking card because it makes the OS look gimpy. There is an SMC Elite Ultra 16 in the PC (Gateway, with S3 Trio-64V video card, all IDE). The card works fine in Win95, I got the SMC utilities and set up the card the same way as the switches are supposed to set it up ( port 300, int. 10, mem 0xcc000) and now win95 reports these addresses with no conflict. I apparently need these addresses to make Win95 happy. I did a boot -c, set the ed0 switches up the same way, turned off all of the other net drivers. The boot finds the card, and I can ping my loopback and my own net address, where it reports the proper ethernet address via arp -a, but I can't see the rest of the network. I've tried pinging PCs, Suns, whatever, on the local network. I disabled the name server in /etc/host.conf, and added a few of the local nodes to /etc/hosts. If I ping anything, it says "host is down". If I jam the ethernet address in via arp -s, it doesn't say "host is down", but all packets are still lost. the following is in /etc/sysconfig ifconfig_edo "inet 192.xx.xx.xx netmask 0xffffff00" This is driving me nuts! Any pointers? Thanks in advance.
