List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Hi Speaking of network problems, I have what I believe is a ne 2000 compatible card. Windows just calls it an ISA Plug-and-play Ethernet Adapter It was installed a few years ago for the cable modem service. I am using the kernel that is the default for the debian potato installation.. 2.2.18pre21 when I load the driver via a module I get.. modprobe ne io=0x300 it finds it and gives it irq 3, I've also tried 5 9 10 11 and still get the same messages. I configure it and give it an ip address of 10.0.0.1/24 and when I ping 10.0.0.2/24 I get neighbour table overflow over and over again and no response to my ping in the kernel output messages (dmesg) I get eth0 tx timed out, lost interrupt, and a string of numbers and letters. what do those errors mean? What should be the best way to fix it? ------------------------- Patrick Turnage e-mail:pturnage@tampabay.rr.com Telephone: (850) 459-7717 HomePage: http://www.access-connect.com Amateur radio callsign:kg4dqk AOL Instant Messenger:kg4dqk icq:26862191 MSN:turnagep@hotmail.com Yahoo!:kg4dqk America Online:kg4dqk1129 kg4dqk1129@aol.com
