IMHO you have an overdeveloped faith in technology 8)
Things to check
1. Does tcpdump show anything if you ping the box from another machine 2. Is the link light on 3. Does the irq count in /proc/interrupts for the card rise appropriately ? 4. What does the 3c5x9 diagnostic tool say (http://www.scyld.com)
The reason I ask is that Linux 2.2 and on some platforms 2.4 will be relying on BIOS IRQ routing where Windows 9x will do the work itself. So I've seen precisely these symptoms before - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
