I've used the NIC (tulip module) to connect directly to the Internet, so I'm assuming (???) it's functioning correctly. ifconfig reports no errors. Output follows: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet Hwaddr 00:A0:CC:5F:CF:6E inet addr:192.168.0.2 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:283 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:48 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txpueuelen:100 Interrupt:5 Base address:0xf800 -----Original Message----- From: owner-linux-net@vger.rutgers.edu [mailto:owner-linux-net@vger.rutgers.edu] On Behalf Of Ahsan Ali Sent: Monday, July 03, 2000 06:31 To: John Johnson; linux-net@vger.rutgers.edu Subject: Re: Assuming your configuration is correct, have you checked to make sure that the NIC in your second linux box works okay? I once had a similar problem with a faulty NIC. Take a look at ifconfig's output for eth0 and see if there are errors there. It could also be that if you're using a combo card, you've enabled the co-ax connector while using RJ-45, or vice versa... -Ahsan ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Johnson" <ioann@cais.com> To: <linux-net@vger.rutgers.edu> Sent: Monday, July 03, 2000 3:19 PM > Pardon me for asking a dumb newbie question, but this has been giving me > conniptions for the past few weeks, and I've checked the FAQs without > success. > > I have configured an older Pentium-class machine as a packet-filtering > router and Internet gateway using ipchains.
