Subject: linux and win95 network
Continuing problem -
1. I am trying to network win 95 notebook to
linux server. (Suse 6.0)
2. I ping from notebook to server IP address
and I get timed out message - which I think means that this PC is working
okay.
3. I ping from server to notebook and get
"sendto: network is unreachable" message.
4. when I load linux I get
error - failed message eth0: unknown
interface
5. I have new 3com
card on notebook, new netgear 4 port hub and UNKNOWN old NIC on linux
server
I am guessing that my NIC on the linux server
is either a) incompatible or b) not set up or configured properly. when
I originally installed linux it seemed to read the card okay and set up etc,
but now I cannot figure out where to go check the set up, drivers, etc or do
not know how to troubleshoot it, etc....... I have obtained new 3com ethernet
card - should I just install it ? -- how do I go about setting the new
card up in linux ??- the user manual - book is real hard for me to
understand.
-- As always - any help asap is great
!!!!!!!
