I agree
with Carl. My experience is with RedHat, so I don’t know if the same utilities
are available. If you are running from the “standard” kernel, then your
existing ethernet adapter may not be compiled into the kernel. The SuSe
documentation should at least tell you what the minimum supported devices are.
I would expect
Linux to support the 3COM cards.

Cool

Incorrect interpretation of message. This means your network is
non-functional
3.
ditto #2
4.
Linux does not like your card. Install the new card and try again
5.
Eliminate the unknown!

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 !!!!!!!
