Can we assume that this worked prior to the day before yesterday? What does ifconfig show you? Do both cards "appear" to have valid ip's? If so, can the Linbox ping the Winboxen and vice-versa? If not, what can ping what if anything? Keep in mind we're worried about the lan side. If the WAN side can ping the firewall, that's fine. We're only concerned with the LAN (local) side. I can say that tulip drivers are often picky. Get us some more info and we can go from there. BYW: If this has never worked, then you may have an issue NAT'ing behind an existing firewall (esp. if the firewall is a dsl/cable router which is already NAT'ing). But I'm assuming, by the tone of the message, that this worked before. <<JAV>> ---------- Original Message ----------- From: Mark Neidorff <mark@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx Sent: Mon, 10 Nov 2003 19:58:08 +0000 (UTC) Subject: Help restoring local network > Hi All, > > I'm stumped and looking for something more or less obvious. > > My system is RH7.3 with 2.4.20-13.7 kernel and everyting else reasonably > patched up.
