RE: [PLUG] newbie question

[Louis Dallara <ldallara@comcast.net>]

1) Are all of the dependacies of the "drakxtools" package
   satisfied?  Type "rpm -q --requires drakxtools" to see these
   dependancies.  For each package listed, type "rpm -q package_name" 
Yes

2) Can you get the network interface to work anyway?  As root,
   type "ifconfig".  This will list the currently configured(in
   use) network interfaces.  Assuming that you only have one
   network card in your laptop, you hope to see "eth0" listed.
   If so, you should be able to ping other machines, surf the
   web, get email and pretty much not worry about this error.  If
   you don't see it listed, try "ifup eth0".  This will try to
   configure that device, hopefully you wont get that same error.

ifconfig finds the card
does a broadcast
rx 228 errors
tx 30 errors
loopback also errors

did the ifup eth0 and it says file found and readit..

when i ping the win machine it say unreachable

when i go linux box i get 75% loss
some packets make it.

maybe i need a later driver, i've not been able to download the latest 
tulip_cb driver from 
http://www.scyld.com/network/updates.html

thanks
Lou
