: I have 1.3.75 working now, I haven't determind what the problem was. : After messing around with libc, binutils, ldd, and all sorts of TCP : config settings in the kernel (I was attempting to narrow down the : problem) I finally got it running!

: Anyone know why libc-5.3.6 doesn't come with updated /usr/lib/crt1.o crt*.o : files? I can't compile any programs with libc-5.3.6.bin.tar.gz installed.
I also solved my problem: The ehternet card wasn't plugged firmly into the ISA slot (blush). After I fixed it, my network was up and running again. However, it is strange that Linux 1.2.13 didn't have any problem and Linux 1.3.75 didn't respond.
