Re: RH will not "ping" - Why?

["Cableinet" <andy b cableinet co uk>]

Dear all,
     I'm having the same problem.  but mine is on a 6.0 system.  I've tried
some of the suggestions, and got it working for a while, but when i came
back next day it had stopped working.
I'm using the same 3com card, but it all worked on RH 5.2 for me.
Any more suggestions would be greatly appriciated.

Thanks

Andy
